Cricket is not a Bharatiya game. Still, the young generation has gone wild after this game, and as a result, many undesirable incidents take place in the cricket. There are fights among players from opposing teams, the players attack pedestrians since the game is played on streets, boys play cricket after consuming alcoholic drinks, if any damage is caused to houses due to cricket ball, the players will attack the landlord himself when he argues with them. Thus, many such incidents of rowdyism take place instead of enjoying the game. That is why Sanatan is always against this game. However, now, the incidents of gambling are observed in this game, and as a result, entire Nation is experiencing feelings of deep shame ! – Editor, Daily ‘Sanatan Prabhat’
New Delhi : The incidents of spot fixing in the cricket matches sponsored by Indian Premier League have come to the light recently. Spot fixing means pre-planning the number of runs which will be conceded in a single over. In this matter, Dehali police have arrested 3 players Sreesanth, Ankit Chavan, and Ajit Chandaliya from Rajasthan Royal team. Apart from this, 7 bookies have also been arrested. Out of these, 3 bookies belong to New Dehali. The police have come to the conclusion that these bookies are in close contact with Dawood gang from Pakistan. (When cricket forms a nexus with the criminal world, the organisers of the game and those who run after the game are only anti-national ! – Editor, Daily ‘Sanatan Prabhat’)
In this case, some more players are also likely to be arrested !
The police had kept Sreesanth and 2 other players under observation since last week. Spot fixing occurred in a match played between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians teams in Mumbai on 15th May and in an earlier match played between Kings Eleven and Rajasthan Royals in Mohali on 9th May. As per police version the players received Rupees 60 lakhs for each over they bowled. Total amount of 1 Crore and 20 Lakh Rupees exchanged hands in this matter. Players were asked to concede more than 14 runs in these overs, which they did.
As per the informed sources, inquiry will also be initiated against two team owners in this case. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royal team management reacted, “Although the arrested players belong to the Rajasthan Royals team, the team management is not at all involved in the spot fixing. We are discussing this matter with the Cricket Control Board. We will fully cooperate with investigation agencies”.
