New Delhi: 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.
