Everyone knows how successful the indian Premier League (IPL) is. However, are there any flaws in it? That is, many. But, nothing stands in the way of the fun that the IPL offers to the audience. The IPL was surrounded by allegations of match-fixing less than a decade ago. In 2013, former Team india pacer sreesanth was caught in spot-fixing. In the 2016 and 2017 seasons, even the management of a strong team like chennai Super Kings was caught in allegations of fixing. The betting allegations of 2013 were the reason for this. At that time, along with chennai, rajasthan Royals were caught in a betting scam and were banned for two years. This year too, rajasthan has been accused of fixing. The reason for this is that they lost despite having a chance to win in the last over.

The ghost of fixing constantly haunts the IPL worth thousands of crores. Therefore, being vigilant is the best weapon. However, the signs of fixing are known in advance. Even if players get out unusually. Even if they make unpredictable performances, betting and fixing suspicions arise. The way Sunrisers batsman ishan kishan was dismissed in the match between Sunrisers hyderabad and mumbai Indians in uppal on wednesday also raised suspicions of fixing. When the ball bowled by mumbai pacer deepak chahar went wide of the leg stump, the keeper caught it. The commentators said it was a wide. While the umpire was also trying to raise his hands, Kishan thought he was out and left. With this, the umpire changed his decision.

A batsman like ishan kishan, who has played many matches for Team india, does not need to be told whether he is out or not. Moreover, without even wondering whether the ball touched the bat or not. Despite being a key player with review chances, he decided to be out in the worst possible way and left, causing a terrible blow to the team. ishan kishan probably thought he was following the spirit of sportsmanship but the ball did not actually touch the bat. Those who watched it live are also aware of this. But, fans say that only when such things happen with Ishan leaving, suspicions of fixing arise. Some are criticizing Ishan for playing for his old team mumbai while still in the Sunrisers hyderabad team. It is imperative for mumbai to win this match. This will put them in the top 4. Is that why they did this? They are making social comments saying. After the match, Ishan's laughing and talking to the mumbai players made Hyderabadis angry.
