You can’t mess with the fates. Or with astrologers. Srinivasan is a deeply superstitious individual. Meetings always happen on floor 11 of a prestigious Chennai hotel.

He even refused to let the Indian team wear their new kit ahead of the 2012 T20 World Cup and stick to the old kit that they wore when they won the 2011 World Cup. The reason was probably a well-known astrologer and vaastu consultant in Chennai called Vaastu Venkatesan.
