Another controversy: Ex-official exposes alleged fixing in recent IPL match

The ongoing edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) has been marred by controversies since the beginning and this time around former IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has alleged of match fixing during a match between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders.

The former commissioner posted a video in which Capital’s wicketkeeper Rishbah Pant can be heard on the stump mic saying that the next delivery would be hit for a four. The very next ball was hit for a four by Robin Uthappa off the bowling of Sandeep Lamichhane.

“Is this a joke or cannot believe this. Match fixing to the highest order. When will IPL, BCCI, ICC ever wake up. Shameful that all officials really don’t care,” said Modi.
