Twitter reaction to spot-fixing charges against Sreesanth and Co.

Sreesanth, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila of Rajasthan Royals were arrested earlier today after they were allegedly involved in a spot-fixing scandal. The BCCI has said that all players found guilty will be banned for life.

Here’s how twitter reacted:

Nothing hurts a game and its fans more than Match Fixing. Most disturbed to hear about the recent fixing charges. #Sreesanth #shame

When asked the repeated question is IPL fixed my answer is always IPL teams CAN’T be fixed but individual players who lack integrity can.

Last year 5 players were banned post a sting operation…that was a big enough reason to educate the players and sanitise the IPL!
