Indian Cricket had been put to shame after the spot-fixing scandal broke out in May 2013 during the sixth edition of the IPL. This upcoming edition of IPL will commence in Kolkata on April 8.

Dalmiya also wished the India cricket team all the best in their title defence in the ongoing World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. "I would want to wish the Indian team all the very best and I sincerely hope that the team would continue to perform well in the World Cup," he said.
