Don't know if you guys noticed or not but we are seeing the controversy in every match. 4 out of 7 matches are mixed up with controversy and more or less each one of them is a game-changing moment. let's see if we witness more drama in this season.
1. CSK VS RCB = Low scoring match=Bad pitch fiasco
2. KKIP VS RR = Mankading incident ( Every cricket fan all over the world went gaga including ex-cricketers) Game Changing moment
3. KKIP VS KKR = NO ball ( Power Play- Field restrictions) Game changing moment
4. RCB Vs MI = Last ball -No ball (Lazy umpiring) could be game-changing last ball
No where in this world is perfect,this is due to match fixing by players or by the whole team since it is hard to believe four incidents in less than a week as coincidence but everything over now and the investigation may happen only after the tournament.
I agree that betting plays the big part in leagues but I doubt that the following incidents are related to match-fixing somehow for the following reasons. you or someone else are free to counter the following reasons.
1st Match was bad only because of Bad pitch. curators mistake.
2nd Match incident was the result of match scenario- pressure. no one bets on mankading ever. Because its spontaneous act, even bowler cannot predict this.
3rd Match scenario could be fixed but I am willing to give this one "benefit of the doubt" because it turns out the player who was outside of the circle is a debutant in IPL.
4th Match drama was created by lousy umpiring, to be frank, IMHO
When we talking about player involvement in the match-fixing then let me tell you. Dhoni, Virat, Rohit, Ashwin have a very bad reputation among the Bookies. no bookie can dare to talk with Dhoni, Virat and Rohit about fixing the game and Ashwin in real life is a man of honor, one can hate him or criticize his action in the game but when it comes to fixing the match then I can't believe it.
