The player who was banned for spot-fixing in the IPL was Sreesanth, along with two other players, Ankeet Chavan and Ajit Chandila, all of whom were part of Rajasthan Royals in 2013. Sreesanth was banned for life by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for his involvement in the spot-fixing scandal during the 2013 IPL season. The players were arrested for their role in the scandal, and the investigation revealed that they were involved in deliberately underperforming in exchange for money from bookies .
