Faf du Plessis exposes Mumbai Indians’ alleged toss-fixing in IPL
Former South African batsman and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis has exposed alleged toss-cheating tactics after RCB’s match against Mumbai Indians (MI) in Indian Premier League (IPL) at Wankhede Stadium on April 11.
A video is going viral on social media in which Faf du Plessis pointed to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Pat Cummins and explained what happened in the coin toss against Mumbai Indians and how the coin flipped.
According to many social media users, match referee and former India pacer Javagal Srinath is accused of influencing the outcome of the toss to favor the Mumbai Indians. Several users on the social media platform X alleged that Srinath manipulated the coin by flipping it to change the sides while picking it up.
Mumbai Indians have won the title 5 times in the history of IPL but they have been accused of toss fixing for the past several years. The five-time IPL champion team is in trouble and social media fans are criticizing Hardik Pandya after his tossing antics.
The league is in clear danger as the lack of transparency has led social media users to think that all IPL matches are pre-fixed. On the other hand, Srinath and the match referee have been accused of toss tampering which has changed the result of the match.
