The Indian Premier League (IPL) has suffered many setbacks because of match-fixing in their ten-year long journey, and the saga seems to continue. Fortunately, no cricketer is involved in the latest betting racket. Delhi Police has arrested four men for allegedly running an IPL betting racket in northeast Delhi’s Gokalpuri area on Sunday.
