‘We have written to BCCI’: DDCA springs into action after ‘match-fixing’ allegations rock Indian cricket

The association said the allegations remain unverified and asked authorities to examine claims of insider information and match-fixing.

  • The Delhi & District Cricket Association has contacted the Board of Control for Cricket in India regarding alleged match-fixing, following a sting operation by Tehelka involving a former Ranji Trophy player.
  • In the sting operation, Delhi-based cricketer Rachit Bhatia claimed to have fixed five Chennai Super Kings matches during the 2025 IPL, while also offering classified information on the Central Delhi Kings franchise in the Delhi Premier League.
  • DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma stated the association notified the BCCI immediately after learning of the approach, though the DDCA emphasized on Tuesday that allegations remain "unverified" and conclusions would be premature.
  • Recently, the BCCI's anti-corruption wing brought franchise-based state T20 leagues under the scanner to track suspected corrupt activities, following a Tamil Nadu cricketer's barring from the Tamil Nadu Premier League in August.
  • The DDCA has requested that appropriate authorities examine the matter through established processes, while taking note of reports concerning alleged irregularities involving players and a franchise in the Delhi Premier League.
