IPL 6

The Indian Premier League authorities have contacted all nine of its franchises and instructed them to speak to their players and reinforce the code of conduct, IPL sources told CNN-IBN on Saturday.

RCB will not only have to beat Chennai to remain in contention for play-offs, but also hope that Sunrisers Hyderabad lose their last game.

Sources have told CNN-IBN that a Delhi Police team has been sent out to recover the money that two of three arrested Rajasthan Royals' players - Ajit Chandila and Sreesanth - had already received from the bookies in exchange for spot-fixing in IPL 6.

Australian batsman David Warner abused Australian journalists for writing against the Indian Premier League following the spot-fixing scandal.

The IPL 6 spot-fixing stain is fast spreading and sources are saying the police are now focusing on the role of underworld and more players in the scandal. There have also been reports that spot-fixing might have taken place in previous IPL editions too. The Delhi Police Special cell, which brought the scandal to the limelight, is also looking for the money trails in Mumbai, Ahmedabad and New Delhi.

"The Indian Premier League is a smouldering cesspit" - 'The Daily Telegraph' column rips the IPL apart, accusing it of bringing the gentleman's game into disrepute.

The Australian media has come down heavily on the Indian Premier League, terming it the "sunniest of places for the shadiest people".

Ganguly said he felt bad for Dravid who had to contend with people like Greg Chappell and Sreesanth during his captaincy stints.

The latest spot-fixing scandal, involving three Rajasthan Royals players, has tainted the game of cricket once again.
