After a gap of four years, Pink City is likely to host the IPL matches again. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given the local authorities one-month time to prepare the Sawai Man Singh Stadium for the matches.

The stadium has not been maintained for a long time amid factionalism in the RCA.

On Monday, the BCCI observer, National Cricket Academy chief executive officer Toofan Ghosh, visited the stadium and gave necessary orders to the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) officials and asked them accomplish the maintenance work by March 5.

“A lot of work is expected to be completed in one month, which includes repairing and painting,” said Ghosh.

But questions such as who will pay the money and to whom, and who will carry out the construction work remain. Ghosh said he will submit a report to the BCCI and thereafter the board will decide over the issues.

Confirming that Ghosh visited the SMS stadium and gave instructions regarding maintenance of the stadium, RCA joint secretary Mahendra Nahar said the BCCI observer would remain in Jaipur for next three days and keep a close watch on the developments.

He said that seating arrangements at eastern stand in the stadium will be modified. “BCCI will arrange the money for the work,” said RCA secretary Rajendra Singh Nandu. He said that the association employees were not paid salaries for last 10 months.

RCA officials said in case the stadium was not ready by the given date, the matches could be shifted to Pune. “The work has to be completed by March 5. Scenario will be clear within 10-15 days,” said an official familiar with the matter.

Pitch curator Taposh Chatterjee said, “The ground will be prepared before time. Whatever they require, we will do it in a better manner.”

Rajasthan Royals’ vice chairman Rajiv Khanna said, “Jaipur always remains in our top priority. We want to play our matches here.”

Warren buffet on EBITDA !What is ADJUSTED EBITDA ?

Image
In its quarterly reports, Uber uses ‘EBITDA’ heavily. Its rival, Lyft also uses EBITDA similarly. In fact, almost all new tech companies stress on EBITDA. Several non-tech companies too. And then you have people like Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett who say, “I think that every time you see the word EBITDA, you should substitute the word bullsh*t earnings”. What’s the deal with EBITDA? Why do so many companies use it? And why does Warren Buffett not like it? EBITDA In basic terms, it’s like your salary – the one that the company says it is paying you. Your ‘CTC’. It does not account for your taxes or EMIs or bills. The full form of this is Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation. Let’s go a bit deeper. Interest: the company would have borrowed money. This is the amount it needs to pay back. Taxes: the company owes the government some taxes. Depreciation: the company owns assets. These would differ from industry to industry. But the assets lose value ove...
