==IPL Controversy==
Raman was at the helm of affairs when the IPL betting and spot-fixing scandal was unearthed in 2013 involving some cricketers, [[Chennai Super Kings]] Team Principal and [[Board of Control for Cricket in India|BCCI]] President, [[N Srinivasan]]'s son-in-law, [[Gurunath Meiyappan]], [[Vindu Dara Singh]] and a few other individuals.<ref>{{cite news|last=Dalvi|first=Vinay|title=IPL betting: Voice samples nail Gurunath Meiyappan, Vindoo Dara Singh |url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/ipl-betting-voice-samples-nail-gurunath-meiyappan-vindoo-dara-singh/15170077|accessdate=14 April 2014|newspaper=Mid-Day|date=20 March 2014}}</ref> Raman maintained the stand that Meiyappan was not a team official during the ensuing investigation conducted by former Chief Justice [[Mukul Mudgal]]. But his contention was thereafter rejected by the report filed by the Mudgal committee.<ref>{{cite news|title=Gurunath Meiyappan was a Chennai Super Kings team official|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/gurunath-was-a-csk-team-official/|accessdate=14 April 2014|newspaper=The Indian Express|date=11 February 2014}}</ref>
