Fans disappointed with spot-fixing row in IPL

A video of angry fans blaming BCCI for spot-fixing in IPL.

The spot fixing row that has hit IPL recently has left genuine lovers of the sport really disappointed.

Fans of the Mumbai Indians team are no less unhappy with what is happening around them in the world of a sport that is literally considered to be no lesser than any religion in this nation.

The angry fans blame the BCCI for not taking the ICC warnings about a large possibility of fixing in IPL seriously.

A TV channel on Monday claimed to have blown the lid off “murky deals” in the IPL among players, organisers, owners and big guns of Indian cricket, prompting the BCCI to warn that stringent action will be taken if the report is found to be true.

The channel, India TV, claimed it had done a sting operation in which many players confessed on hidden camera they get much more than their prescribed auction under the table.

According to the channel, its operation also revealed that spot-fixing is not only prevalent in IPL but also that first class matches are fixed and women played an important role in match-fixing.

Superstars of Indian cricket and even an international player, who is a captain of one of the teams, are involved in fixing the matches, the channel said in a statement.
