Rishabh Pant caught on stump mic saying ‘Yeh to waise bhi chauka hai’, fans speculate match-fixing (Video)

New Delhi: Rishabh Pant’s prediction, caught on the stump mic during the Delhi Capitals’ home game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, has caused uproar on social media with some fans claiming the match was fixed.

According to reports, the wicketkeeper-batsman on Saturday was caught on the stump mic, saying “yeh to waise bhi choka hai (this is going to go for a four)” in the fourth over. The very next ball was hit for a four by Robin Uthappa off the bowling of Sandeep Lamichhane.

Fixing is directly proportional to Indian Premier League. Saw a live scene where Rishabh Pant was heard saying 'Yeh to wese bhi chauka hai' before Sandip Lamichane bowled to Robin Uthappa. Guess what, the ball went on to the boundary. Lol.
