While in most quarters the handling of thorny issues by the IPL has been commended, Kartikeya takes a different view of things; especially the case of a referee (Farrokh Engineer) suspending an umpire (Pratap Kumar) in, what he considers, “unprecedented ground”. He disagrees with Engineer’s decision with his argument going thus:

The whole premise of the Umpire, is that they are above the fray. They are not in competition with the players, and hence cannot be judged alongside the players. Referee Engineer has done just that.
