IPL 2023: Over ten bookmakers who were involved in an IPL betting ring were recently detained by the Cyberabad Police. As Royal Challengers Bangalore played the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Monday, the arrests were made in a home in Bachupally.
Stephen Ravindra, the commissioner of the Cyberabad Police, disclosed that they have been monitoring the illicit operations of various cricket betting rackets. He further disclosed that 10 bookies were detained, adding that the police had recovered INR 60.39 lakh as part of the bust. He added that the sum in the arrested people’s bank accounts, the money from the online transactions, and the confiscated goods put the case’s property at a total worth of roughly INR 1 crore.
The 10 individuals who were detained in the bust are Venkata Shivarama Krishna, Singmaneni Kiran Kumar, Nandam Srinivas Babu, Kadiyala Mahesh, Chereddy Kasi, Addepalli Prathap Gana Kumar, K. Vijay Kumar, G. Srikanth, A. Vinay, and B. Venkata Ratna Kumar. Also, it was revealed that Pandu, the racket’s principal organiser, is currently missing.
The RCB-LSG matchup turns out to be a classic.
Batting first against Lucknow Super Giants in the 15th game of the IPL 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore got off to a great start as Virat Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis completely destroyed the LSG spinners. Bangalore scored 212 runs in the first innings as Glenn Maxwell came in following Kohli’s dismissal on a score of 61 for himself.
After Kyle Mayers was ejected on a duck during the run chase, things only got worse for the guests. Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, and Ayush Badoni played tenacious knocks to get Lucknow back in the game after the entire top order failed to contribute anything.
In the final over, Harshal Patel removed Mark Wood and Jaydev Unadkat to end the match and give Lucknow a chance to win. However, the ball was replayed and the batters took the final run to give Lucknow a remarkable one-wicket victory when the Indian bowler lost the opportunity to run out Ravi Bishnoi at the non-end strikers on the very last delivery.
