Cricket News: As the Indian Premier League 2023 gets begun, T20 mania has spread throughout the entire country of India. The advent of IPL in recent years has also resulted in an increase in betting and gambling as a number of applications and websites allow fans to wager on teams or players and win huge rewards. Millions of users from over the nation use these platforms, which are promoted by numerous well-known personalities.
Recently, the bill to outlaw online gambling in Tamil Nadu, including online rummy and poker, was approved by Governor RN Ravi. At a recent promotion for cricket applications in Chennai, famed Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who is from the region, was questioned about the restriction.
The Indian cricketer lost his composure and asked the media whether they intended to stir up trouble. In response to the query, “Do you want the truth or a headline?” Ashwin posed the question.
“That is inappropriate for the setting and the role. I’m here to address a matter, but you’re attempting to stir up a debate. It’s unfair,” Ashwin reportedly said, according to India Today.
When Ashwin was further questioned about the relationship between internet gambling and cricket, he responded by questioning who invented mobile phones and claiming that kids aren’t playing cricket outside because of smartphones.
He advised people to prevent kids from using cell phones so that they will be more likely to play outside. He continued by saying that he would back any initiative to promote youth cricket.
In the fourth game, Rajasthan Royals will take on Chennai Super Kings.
In the meantime, Ashwin is presently playing for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing Indian Premier League season. Rajasthan, who came in second place last season, is off to a strong start this year after winning two of their first three games.
The right-arm off-spinner has taken four wickets this season with an economy of 6.41 and an average of 19.25. On April 12 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Match 17 of the competition will pit Rajasthan against Chennai Super Kings.
