  • Patil further said that the allegations of match-fixing dates back to the 2018 edition of the KPL, where Viswanathan had batted slowly in a match for the Blasters, for which he allegedly earned Rs. 5 lakh ($7,000).

    "Further investigation is on. A few bookies are involved, who will be arrested," Patil further added on the issue, reports The New Indian Express.

  • According to the sources of TNIE, the arrests were made based on the information provided by bookie Bhavesh Bafna, who was earlier arrested for trying to book a Ballari Tuskers' bowler.

    Upon being interrogated, he said that he had booked Vishwanathan through the team's bowling coach Prasad, and allegedly offered him Rs. 5 lakh to play slow cricket.
