Spot Fixing

After a sting operation conducted by a Hindi news channel, claiming to unveil 'murky deals' among players, organizers, owners and big shots in the governing body itself, the BCCI took stringent action and suspended five players, Abhinav Bali, TP Sudhindra (Deccan Chargers), Mohnish Mishra (Pune Warriors), Amit Yadav (Kings XI Punjab) and Shalabh Shrivastava (Kings XI Punjab) for 15 days, with immediate effect pending completion of an inquiry. The sting claimed that many players have confessed on hidden camera getting much more money, under the table, than their prescribed auction.
