Explanation:
The 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) was indefinitely suspended after several players across franchises tested positive for COVID-19. During a match in Indian Premier League (IPL), the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Anti-Corruption Unit nabbed two individuals for allegedly pitch-siding, or court-siding. Pitch or court-siding is having somebody inside a sports venue and passing on immediate match-related updates to a bookie, who can use that information to change the odds and accept or reject bets. The few seconds of lag it takes to be aired on television gives them the window of opportunity.
