In what comes as a major boost for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it has won a legal battle against Deccan Chronicle Holdings (DCHL) as the Bombay High Court has decided in favour of the Indian board.

 Speaking to Media, a BCCI official in the know of developments said it was a welcome decision.

 “We are extremely happy with the development. It has vindicated our position as we had always followed what was in the agreement,” the official said.

 To go back to the case, the IPL Governing Council had terminated Deccan Chargers in 2012 and the franchise had challenged the termination.
