He thanked the doctors who treated him at Mexico City and the one who flew from London to accompany him back to the UK.
Modi, who pioneered the T20 league Indian Premier League (IPL) -- now the richest cricket league in the world -- had left India in 2010 for London after being charged of tax evasion, money laundering and manipulating broadcast deals.
He was the founder and first chairman of the IPL, running the tournament for three years but was ousted afterwards from Indian cricket following charges of various irregularities.
