Ajit Chandila (born 5 December 1983) from Faridabad is an off spin bowler from Haryana, India.[1] He plays for Rajasthan Royals currently but was previously known for his performance for the Air India North Zone team.[2]
Indian Premier League career
His Indian Premier League (IPL) career started when Delhi Daredevils in 2011 selected him in their probable team. In 2012, he made his IPL debut on 23 April 2012 at Jaipur. Ajit became the first bowler in the IPL's fifth season to take a hat-trick. He is the seventh bowler to get hat-trick in the history of the IPL.[3]
Chandila got into controversy in IPL 6 when he ran-out Adam Gilchrist and appealed against him when Gilchrist was caught short of the crease while taking evasive action to a throw that hit him on the glove. Gilchrist termed it completely against the spirit of the game.[4]
On 16 May 2013, he was arrested on charges of Spot fixing during IPL 6 by the Delhi police along with Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan, who play alongside him for Rajasthan Royals. [5][6]. A case has been registered against all these players at the Marine Drive police station, Mumbai, under sections 420, which deals with cheating, and 120 (b), which deals with criminal conspiracy, of the Indian Penal Code.[7]
