PC- X/ChennaiIPLIn a massive development, the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) has revealed that the CSK-famed Vansh Bedi had reported a match-fixing approach during the recently concluded season of the Delhi Premier League (DPL 2026).As per media reports, a former Ranji player Rachit Bhatia had reportedly passed information releated to five of CSK's fixtures in IPL 2025 to the bookmakers. He also confessed that he did the same while representing Nagaland in the 2018-19 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. After Rachit Bhatia mentioned a mole in the CSK, Vansh Bedi's name started to make waves, as the wicketkeeper was with the five-time champions in IPL 2025. Vansh Bedi reported match-fixing approach: DDCAWhile dismissing rumours about Vansh Bedi, DDCA secretary Ashok Sharma revealed a major update: the 23-year-old reported a corrupt approach by a player in the UP T20 League to the Anti-Corruption wing. "Vansh Bedi promptly reported a corrupt approach to the Anti-Corruption wing from a player from Uttar Pradesh, who was also playing a T20 league in the state. We have attached SLOs with every team this year and all our arrangements have been watertight," DDCA Secretary Ashok Sharma told TOI Sports. Meanwhile, the DDCA has reached out to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) regarding the sting operation. They also said that if Vansh Bedi is found guilty, he would have to face the consequences. “We have written to the board. Whatever the BCCI asks us to do, we will do it. If the board asks us for video footage, we will provide that, too. Whatever the board requests, we will provide whatever is available to us. Now, as for whether the board takes it to the level of verifying their telephonic recordings, that won't happen unless you involve the crime branch or Delhi Police,” Ashok Sharma told HT Sports."If fingers are pointed at him and an investigation takes place, then if he has done something, he will face the consequences. And if he hasn't, he will come out clean,” said Ashok.Also Read: DPL Under Threat After Dev Chaudhary’s Selection; Virat Kohli’s Childhood Coach DraggedBedi was with the Central Delhi Kings in the DPL 2026, where he played an instrumental role in the team's runner-up campaign.

The rate for that information for DPL games was INR 40 lakhs, whereas it was INR 20 lakhs for IPL. Although neither the BCCI nor the DPL nor any governing body has commented on the matter, match-fixing is regarded as one of the biggest crimes in cricket. Back in the day, IPL faced a massive match-fixing scandal involving CSK and Rajasthan Royals, linked to their respective owners. The BCCI had to intervene after the case reached the Supreme Court, with three RR players facing bans and the two franchises temporarily barred for two years.After that scandal, the IPL authorities and the Indian board buried the demons of match-fixing and spot-fixing. Since then, not a single thing related to any foul activity has come to light. Who is Rachit Bhatia?Very little information is available about Rachit Bhatia, but based on what is known, he played six Ranji matches and two T20s in the SMAT. The Nagaland cricketer was active in India’s domestic scene during the 2018-19 season, picking up 15 wickets and scoring 71 runs. However, his link with Delhi Cricket, the DPL, or the IPL has yet to be established.Also Read: Abhishek Sharma's Golden Duck vs Japan Places Him Alongside Saim Ayub In Shameful List
