BCCI to investigate charges raised by IPL sting operation

[ZexyZahid]

I've got a feeling this is going to be big news in India. I already had a feeling something like this would happen in the IPL.

This has been happening since the very beginning. I've heard reports about corruption in IPL since the first season. There is so much money involved that outcomes, whether they be through spot-fixing or match-fixing, will be fixed, especially with the lackadaisical attitude that the BCCI has to the whole situation.

5 IPL players have been suspended by BCCI thus far. The list includes:

TP Sudhindra (Deccan Chargers), Mohnish Mishra (Pune Warriors), Shalabh Srivastava (Kings XI Punjab), Amit Yadav (Kings XI Punjab) and a player named as "Bali".

It's not just the gambling, it's the fact that there are a lot of passengers. Sure they get payed well enough, but there are millions who would be happy to take their job. These guys might not have a reputation to lose or much of a future to protect; above all else, it's easier to name their price than somebody on 1 million a year.

I myself doubt that several matches are fixed, they swing far too much. And they're called unpredictability and trauma by everybody involved in the IPL, that's real fishy.

Lalit Modi.

It all started with him in the IPL.

I have my doubts on Deccan Chargers Traded KP to delhi when they bought him for 2 mil, keep losing all their last over games and have one of their players in the fixing trap.

Luckily there are no big names in that 5 - are any of them even playing this year? But still...it does make you wonder. Are these players who didn't get the millions on offer in the auctions and were subsequently keen to jump at any chance of big money? Is this just the tip of the iceberg? I hate sounding skeptical, but IPL really is the perfect place for fixing - LOTS of games, PLENTY of money being paid to players and to bookies.

From their cricinfo profiles Sudhindra has played 3 games for DC, M. Mishra 1 game for PW this season. The other three haven't played.

Srivastava hasn't played much domestic cricket since last year's IPL, where he was a mainstay for KXIP.
