A week after his bid to regain control of the Rajasthan Cricket Association failed in an acrimonious election, Lalit Modi now faces a fresh crisis. A very powerful lobby within the BCCI plotting to remove him from the IPL Commissioner's post. Although no BCCI official was willing to go on record on this development, it is learnt that BCCI secretary N Srinivasan, known to be at loggerheads with Modi, is in the forefront of this campaign.Modi, who has successfully conducted two editions of the Indian Premier League and filled the BCCI coffers with his marketing acumen, has been having problems with some of the key BCCI functionaries for some time now. Meanwhile Modi, aware of the changing equation within the BCCI top brass, is learnt to have extended the olive branch to his one time nemesis Jagmohan Dalmiya.
