Indian cricket faces fresh fixing allegations after sting operation

Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 06:26 · 1 min read

An undercover investigation by Indian magazine Tehelka has surfaced new match-fixing allegations in Indian cricket, with former Ranji Trophy (India's premier domestic first-class cricket competition) player Rachit Bhatia claiming on video that he leaked team line-ups to London-based bookmakers during the 2025 Indian Premier League season and fixed matches in lower-tier competitions. Bhatia, who plays for Nagaland, also alleged he accepted payments from parents to secure spots for children in youth sides, though the claims remain unverified by any official authority. The Delhi and District Cricket Association said only one corrupt approach was formally reported during the recent Delhi Premier League — by player Vansh Bedi, who promptly alerted anti-corruption officials — and has since written to the Board of Control for Cricket in India seeking guidance on the broader allegations.
