How a small Indian village tricked Russian gamblers with fake "IPL" cricket competition

Four men have been arrested for arranging a fake tournament marketed as the Indian Premier League that was established with the sole purpose of conning gamblers in Russia.

The real IPL has become one of the most lucrative competitions in sport, with its most recent broadcast rights auction totalling £5bn across the next five years.

And its popularity has clearly reached Russia, a country with no cricketing heritage, to the extent that gamblers were putting money on a fake tournament weeks after the real season had finished.
