Rajeev Shukla was today re-appointed chairman of the IPL Governing Council. This has ended a month-long suspense over the selection of the top post of the cash-rich league. Former Union Minister and Congress leader Shukla was the IPL chairman till 2013 when he resigned from the post in the aftermath of the IPL 'spot-fixing' scandal. Shukla's appointment has come just one day before the opening ceremony of the IPL-8 in Kolkata. Sourav Ganguly was a new entrant to the IPL Governing Council while the senior national selection committee led by Sandeep Patil was retained for another season. Team India Director Ravi Shastri also remained in the IPL Governing Council. Another former captain Anil Kumble has been retained as chairman of the Technical committee while Congress leader Jyotiraditya Scindia will head the powerful finance committee.
