The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a den of gambling, BJP leader Yashwant Sinha said on Thursday and pressed for a detailed inquiry into the spot fixing in the tournament.
"IPL is nothing but a den of gambling. There is less cricket and more of gambling in the IPL. The spot fixing or match fixing does not appear to be confined to a few players or bookies. It appears to be a widespread net," Sinha said, adding that such incidents had taken place in previous years too.

The video highlights of the first Qualifier of the Indian Premier League 2013 between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians at the Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi.

Chasing a lowly 131 for victory was never going to be a daunting task, especially the way the two openers played. But a flurry of wickets in the latter half of the innings ensured a nail-biting finish, which was culminated with back-to-back sixes from the blade of
Bouyed by skipper Virat Kohli's quickfire half-century (56 not out off 29 balls) and a four-wicket haul by Zaheer Khan later on, Royal Challengers Bangalore kept their chances to make the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs alive as they cruised to a 24-run win in a rain-curtailed eight-over match against the Chennai Super Kings.
However, CSK did enough to ensure top spot in the points table on net run-rate, while RCB will have to wait for the result of Sunday's match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders to see if they have made it to the top four.
The match began a drenching three hours after the scheduled start, at 11 pm local time, after incessant rains. But the RCB batsmen rewarded the thousands who
