Players involved in IPL spot-fixing

#1 2012 spot-fixing case

Shalabh Srivastava was among the several players banned in 2012

Even before the infamous 2013 incident came to light, spot-fixing had made an appearance in the famed Indian league a year back. India TV accused five players of spot-fixing for money after a sting operation which was started a year back.

Bans were imposed on the following players - a life-ban for Deccan Chargers' TP Sudhindra and a 5-year ban for Kings XI Punjab's Shalabh Srivastava apart from a one-year ban on Pune Warriors India's Mohnish Mishra and Kings XI Punjab's Amit Yadav.

Besides these players, Abhinav Bali, a Himachal Pradesh cricketer who hasn't played in the IPL, was also banned for his involvement in spot-fixing with players, which was rumoured to be as early as in 2009.
