IPL 2025 teams have received a warning from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on a possible corruption threat. A Hyderabadi businessman is allegedly trying to entice players, coaches, support personnel, and pundits to engage in unethical behavior, according to a report by Cricbuzz.

Millions of spectators have been enthralled by IPL 2025 exciting matches. However, there have been match-fixing scandals in the league, and several players have been banned for life.

The board takes strong measures

The Indian Cricket Board of Control has responded by taking decisive action to maintain IPL 2025 integrity.

In 2013, Delhi Police arrested three Rajasthan Royals players for their role in spot-fixing. The cricket community was rocked by the news. In 2015, the BCCI placed the CSK and RR franchises on a two-year suspension.

The Hyderabadi businessman has a reputation for corruption and is allegedly tied to well-known bookies.

The Anti-Corruption Security Unit (ACSU), according to the Cricbuzz source, thinks this person is trying to get in touch with players, coaches, team owners, support personnel, and even commentators in order to have an unethical impact on the league.

The BCCI responded by issuing a severe warning to all parties involved in IPL 2025. It has been recommended that all participants in the tournament refrain from interacting with the businessman and report any direct or indirect interactions right away. The ACSU has called for openness and prompt disclosure of any misconduct.

The Anti-Corruption Security Unit has asked all IPL participants to exercise caution. Notably, the guy is portraying himself as a fan, the ACSU said. He has been seen attempting to make friends with players, coaches, and staff by inviting them to secret events at team hotels and games.

According to reports, the businessman uses strategies to foster confidence, including giving team members and their families pricey presents, like jewelry. The ACSU has stressed that all parties involved should report any communication with this person and reveal any potential relationships or offers made.

The businessman, who has allegedly been involved in unethical practices, has been gaining access to IPL players and their families through various means. One strategy is to pretend to be a fan and approach the families of team owners, players, coaches, support personnel, and even commentators.

Additionally, there are rumors that he might have used social media, in particular, to connect with relatives who were living overseas.
