IPL is a very popular and dramatic league that allows youngsters to show their energetic talent. But in the past, its status was affected by teams declarations of spot-fixing scandals. It is unfair to tag any team as the “no 1 fixing team in IPL“.
Spot-Fixing Scandals
In the IPL 2013, spot-fixing cases came in front. A Chennai Super Kings official and a few players were in charge. The Supreme Court permanently prohibited Ajit Chandila, S. Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan from participating in cricket. The ban was later removed due to the unavailability of any solid proof.
The RR owner Raj Kundra and Gurunath Meiyappan was also included in betting. Due to this CSK and Rajasthan were excluded from the league in the 2016 and 2017 seasons. The CSK franchise was replaced with Rising Pune Super Giants and Gujrat Lions with RR.
