Shane Warne seems to be making his battle as much as about Lalit Modi as he does about his feud with the Rajasthan Cricket Association. Fine notwithstanding, he is certainly revealing his opinion of the team's image, pitting Modi over the present BCCI functioning.

The Rajasthan Royals is continuing on in defiance and he continues to court trouble for the Rajasthan Royals franchisee in turn when he did not lose the opportunity yet again to emphasize the role of Lalit Modi in the context of the IPL and his perception of how the game is now against the likes of him.
Shane Warne has been openly condemning the controversies of the IPL 3 that have seen Lalit Modi fleeing to London, leaving behind his roel as the former IPL chairman and commissioner after a series of cases of financial irregularities were brought forth against him. Now even after the fine of $50,000 were levelled against him by the IPL disciplinary committee for abusing a member of the Rajasthan Cricket Association, Warne is voicing his thoughts and perhaps as a result of the fine, raising the Lalit Modi issue to possibly add a little more fuel to the fire.
Warne was all praise for Modi, claiming that the IPL was Modi's baby, suggesting that Modi is being insinuated over unfair reasons. Warne even want onto state that Modi was not a businessman as was being projected via the many financial discrepancies that have been alleged but rather that Modi was in favour of the interests of the players almost suggesting when he said that the BCCI's functioning had changed to suggest that he and others like him were being handled a raw deal in their battle against authority.
While Lalit Modi would be greatly pleased by what Warne had to say, dangerously courting more trouble, the BCCI may not be too amenable to have its authority and functioning brought into question, which brings the discussion to the point that this is surely not the end of Warne's battles in the IPL, or for that matter, plausibly even the Rajasthan Royals.
