Rachit Bhatia named in Tehelka cricket fixing investigation

Former domestic cricketer Rachit Bhatia sits at the centre of a Tehelka undercover report that claims a fixing network is running through the Delhi Premiere League. The investigation says he acted as the go-between for a fake bookie and a Central Delhi Kings player, promising the playing XI for every one of their 10 matches.

The same report alleges Bhatia offered to arrange spot-fixing in both the IPL and the DPL, and that he made Rs 3 crore by passing inside information on five Chennai Super Kings matches in 2025. He played six first-class games for Nagaland, 70 runs and 13 wickets, before the allegations surfaced. No word yet from the BCCI or ICC on whether any formal inquiry has begun.
