Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) secured a morale-boosting victory over the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2026 match on Saturday. Amidst this, a fake letter, attributed to CSK, also went viral on the internet. The letter claimed that the franchise had lodged a complaint against SRH for ‘black magic’ performed by a fan in the stadium. Former IPL chairman LalitModi debunked the myth, calling the letter ‘fake.’ However, he claimed that one franchise owner did perform ‘superstitious rituals’ in the past. A video of an SRH fan performing a ritual with a lemon in his hand at the stadium went viral on social media, with some even claiming that the ‘superstition’ resulted in the dismissal of a CSK player. This prompted someone to release the fake CSK complaint letter online.

LalitModi’s bold claim regarding black magic in IPL.

LalitModi, who is no stranger to the IPL’s intricacies, claimed that a team owner once performed a superstitious ritual in the opposing team’s dressing room. He wrote in the post, “Seems fake this time. But one team owner did indulge in this type of practice.” He further added, “I remember I posted about a team owner doing this to the opposing team, by doing exactly this themselves in the opposing team’s dressing room. I even alerted the opposing team owners about this way back in the 2011 season, when it happened, and I received an alert with concrete proof. I will reveal all these types of activities, and who conducted them, in the movie or TV series as decided by my team.”
