CHENNAI: The scourge of match-fixing refuses to die down. Former Tamil Nadu allrounder R Sathish was approached on social media to fix matches earlier this month and he was offered Rs 40 lakhs. The 41-year-old player told TOI that he refused the offer and went on to file a complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC), Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Bengaluru police.
Sathish said that the 'approach' was made by an individual named Bunny Anand on Instagram. "It was earlier this month that I got a message on my Instagram account. I immediately refused the offer and I thought it is my duty to report the matter. I informed BCCI Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) and upon their advice went to file a complaint with the police a couple of weeks ago," Sathish told TOI on Tuesday.
