Former player alleges fixing CSK IPL 2025 matches, says he shared line‑ups with bookies

A former Indian cricketer has publicly alleged that five matches involving the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) during the 2025 Indian Premier League were pre‑arranged with bookmakers. The ex‑player says he supplied the team’s playing XIs to betting syndicates, enabling manipulation of match outcomes. The claims were detailed in a Tehelka investigative report, which was subsequently referenced by Yahoo Sports. No official comment has been released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or the IPL governing body, and they have not confirmed any ongoing inquiry. Law enforcement agencies have been alerted, and the allegations are expected to trigger a formal probe into potential match‑fixing activities within the league.
