Sreesanth, Chandila and Chavan have reportedly confessed to spot-fixing in the ongoing sixth edition and speculation is rife that the BCCI has made up its mind to punish them severely. Whether it happens on Sunday or not is still a matter of conjecture.
The Indian board is also looking at starting criminal proceedings against the players. Also, the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit - in charge of vigilance and anti-corruption procedures in the IPL - is likely to face a hard time because the BCCI has reportedly been told by several franchises that the ACSU is not doing its job properly.
