2012 Indian Premier League spot-fixing case
The 2012 Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing case emerged as one of the most significant scandals in Indian cricket, exposing deep-rooted corruption within the sport. The controversy came to light in May 2013, when three players from the Rajasthan Royals—Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila, and Ankeet Chavan—were arrested by the Delhi Police for their involvement in spot-fixing during the tournament. Investigations revealed a broader network facilitating illegal activities, including bookies and fixers who manipulated match outcomes. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suspended the implicated players and launched an inquiry, culminating in life bans for the individuals involved. The case raised questions about the integrity of cricket, leading to stricter regulations within the IPL and a renewed focus on combating corruption in sports.
