In what can be termed as the biggest scandal in the history of the IPL, three Rajasthan Royals bowlers, namely, S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan were arrested and subsequently, suspended on charges of spot-fixing after a match against the Mumbai franchise.

What followed was a tumble of dominoes as dirty secrets spilt out one after the other. An exhaustive investigation conducted by the Supreme Court-appointed Mudgal Committee found Gurunath Meiyappan, who was a top Chennai Super King official and the son-in-law of the-then BCCI president, N Srinivasan, guilty of being involved in fixing.

In 2015, RR and CSK were banned from the IPL for two years by the Lodha Committee in the aftermath of these events.
