IPL 6

The five-day police custody of the three arrested cricketers - S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan - and 11 bookies who were arrested last week ends on Tuesday. They will be produced in a Delhi court. Police sources say they will ask for further custody of the three cricketers, and seven of the 11 bookies.

As the spot-fixing scandal puts a black spot on the Indian Premier League, Kings XI Punjab owners Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia have come up with suggestions like putting franchise owners in the IPL governing council, legalising betting and carrying out random polygraph tests on players. Speaking to IBN18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai, Preity said, "There should be stronger measures by the anti-corruption unit to monitor it and I know I am digressing a bit, but may be if we legalise betting, it would not be a problem."

Ahead of their IPL 6 play-off against Mumbai on Tuesday, the Chennai coach also labelled MS Dhoni as the best finisher in the world.

BCCI has failed to check the menace of fixing despite it bringing the game into disrepute repeatedly, especially in the IPL.

Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are the final four teams to have qualified for the play-offs.

Kings XI Punjab's co-owner Preity Zinta in an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN says that she really hopes that none on Punjab players were involved in fixing.

Steyn feels always looking up to spinners for wickets is not the right way to go about encouraging the crop of pacers in India.

Rajasthan Royals on Monday suspended the tainted trio of Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan in the wake of the spot-fixing scandal on a day when investigations moved with a breakneck speed and resulted in the detention of one more cricketer, Baburao Yadav, a former Ranji Trophy player.

Royal Challengers Bangalore spinner Murali Kartik told CNN-IBN that he was shocked when he first heard the news and guilty should be punished.
