Caught Out: Crime. Corruption. Cricket.
This documentary shows links of some former Indian cricketers with bookies for fixing matches which involve names of Muhammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev and Ajay Sharma etc. It is not possible that a cricketer who apparently has a good reputation and respect in sight of the public may not be involved in match fixing and anything like that. It may be totally possible at any point of his career.
But BCCI finally after years, declared these players either innocent even when there has been evidence found against them. Muhammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev were declared clean. But Ajay Sharma and Manoj Prabhakar faced a ban.
No doubt, match fixing is a very dirty thing. Because the whole nation is looking forward to players and they have their sentiments attached to them. Any such thing can really really disappoint the general public.
They say since 2012, there has always been an anti corruption team with the cricket team so they may not be involved in fixing. God knows the rest. But watching a match doesn't make sense if it's fixed.
The spontaneity and unpredictability is the beauty of cricket, and any other game in fact.
