The four leaders of the plot formed a rivalry of sorts They portrayed unemployed men as professional cricketers, who played their matches in a nearby farm field and their images were broadcast on camera and on a YouTube channel. Once the bait was made, these men accepted challenges by telegram from punters in three Russian cities: Moscow, Voronezh, and Tver.
Bhavesh Rathod, the officer investigating the case, said One of the four ringleaders worked at a pub in Russia.
The police discovered the hoax after they played the game 9 match cricket kits, match broadcasting cameras and loudspeakers seized near Molipur village Recreated the ambient sound of the game despite the fact that there was no public watching the game to lend more credibility to the fake league.
