Shadow of fixing on KKR vs RCB match. You must be a little shocked after reading this all of a sudden. But, please tell me that this news related to the match of both the teams is a bit old. Going into history, we are mentioning this because today in IPL 2023, the teams of Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore are face to face. This is the first encounter between the two teams this season.
Now the question is when the match played between these two teams came under the shadow of fixing. That is too because of a player. So this happened in the year 2013 i.e. when there was really a big earthquake in IPL called spot-fixing and match-fixing. The player due to whom the heat of fixing reached the KKR vs RCB match was Ajit Chandila.
When the shadow of fixing fell on the RCB vs KKR match
At that time, cricketer Ajit Chandila, who was arrested by the Delhi Police for match-fixing, confessed that he had made an agreement with a bookie to tell which of the two teams would win the match.
The match played between KKR and RCB in which there were sprinklings of fixing was played in Ranchi on 12th May. KKR won this match by 4 wickets. According to media reports, a senior police officer said, "Ajit Chandila asked the bookie who would win the match between KKR and RCB?" KKR was declared the winner. And, the same thing happened in that match. ,
The match played on 12 May 2013 was low-scoring
Chandila was about to get Rs 30 lakh from the bookie for this prediction. But later he refused to give them this amount citing the loss caused by the low-scoring match. Let us tell you that while batting first, RCB had scored 115 runs in that match of IPL 2013. In reply, KKR hit the target but in the 20th over.
