    Mukul Mudgal rubbishes the match-fixing story
  • Justice Mukul Mudgal, who headed the IPL spot-fixing committee, outrightly rebuffed Dev's allegations, claiming that he was not aware of this.

    He said that if Dev's story was true, he should have notified the committee via email.

    He further said that match-fixing is not as prevalent as depicted and "unless there are 2-3 big players is involved, it can't be done."

    Batting first cant't be match-fixing pointer

  • Mudgal said that India won the Test when it opted to bat at Leeds, claiming that as in Manchester, in Leeds too "the ball swings a lot and there is not much difference" between the two pitches. Therefore, the decision to bat cannot possibly mean Dhoni threw the match.
