In dark rooms across the country, men who form part of cricket's underbelly are licking their lips in anticipation and bookies believe that with no national pride to play for, IPL matches will be easy targets

IPL bosses say they are fully aware of the risks. They believe that the hype in the build-up to the event is important but the credibility of the tournament to them is paramount.

Cricket's tryst with match fixing claimed not just high-profile victims but for some destroyed the soul of the game. So the game's keepers will have to ensure, that this latest glitzy avtaar cricket doesn't let the ghost to re-emerge.
