Cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle made a stunning revelation on Tuesday saying that match-fixing is a happening phenomenon in cricket world even today.

 

In an interview to CNN-IBN, he said, “I have been to a few cricket matches and I have looked at it and said ‘oops what’s happening here’. I remember telling myself one day that don’t look at the match from that angle, a cricket lover in you will die.”

 

Bhogle’s reaction comes after the tainted Pakistani trio Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer were proven guilty on Tuesday of spot-fixing during the Test match against England in 2010, in London court.

“That’s a naive way of looking at it…but we all have been to cricket matches and felt this doesn’t look right..but around the world it’s still happening. I’m absolutely sure it’s happening but I don’t have evidence,” added Bhogle.
