The current case involved in IPL 3 throws a lot off light on the severity of implementation of the bond. When the IPL teams were formed in 2008, the franchisee owners and the team player whom they brought in auction signed a bond for 3 years. The conditions of the bond were that no player can leave a franchisee without the permission of the owner for at least three years.
But what happened with Ravindra Jadeja was really disheartening. Way back in 2008 no one knew much about Ravindra Jadeja. He was brought at a base price of Rs 2 million. But over the time the stature of Ravindra Jadeja has grown. Being treated as an all rounder he has carved a permanent place for himself in the Indian One day squad and Twenty Twenty squad. But his price was never increased by the Rajasthan Royals. Recently in IPL 3 he was approached by Mumbai Indians to join their team, and he was negotiating with them. This was not in the knowledge of the owners of Rajasthan Royals. As this came into light of the IPL governing body Ravindra Jadeja was banned from IPL 3.
So whose fault it was? There are various culprits to it
1. Mumbai Indians team for illegally poaching a player.
2. Ravindra Jadeja for not informing his franchisee owners.
3. Rajasthan Royals for not giving increment to it’s star players.
In the end we as a viewer has to suffer for not being able to watch him perform. This is a very harsh case of employment bond being employed because even next there will be few takers for Ravindra Jadeja. This case represents bonds are very severe at the highest level. A bizarre case where both the employer and the employee are punished but the poacher is let free.
