Dream 11, one of the most popular fantasy sports platform in India and a sponsor of the Indian Premier League (IPL), has come under the radar of the BCCI’s anti-corruption unit (ACU) as according to the reports of the Mohali police, the fantasy app seems to have a connection with the fake T20 league they are investigating.

The ACU also asked the investigators to look into the role of FanCode, a streaming website that live broadcasted the Uva T20 League. Describing the same to The Indian Express, the ACU said: “There is also a chance that Dream11 may be linked. We think the kits used might have been from a previous Dream11 tournament. All of the kits had “Dream11” on the back – there is clearly a chance that these could have been forged, but two sides had tape covering up the Dream11 sign.”

They further added, “This is strange: if someone was forging it and didn’t want two sides to have it displayed then arguably, they wouldn’t print in the first place. With the regard to FanCode, we would also question their involvement as it should not be easy to persuade them to stream a tournament like this.”

When contacted, BCCI’s ACU chief Ajit Singh Shekhawat went on to confirm that Cream 11 might not be involved but with the involvement of FanCode, they need to investigate it further. He also explained that FanCode might provide them a big lead. 

Commenting on the same, a FanCode spokesperson said, “FanCode follows a strict process for shortlisting and screening potential league partnerships for live streaming of matches. Before streaming any tournament/ league on our platform, we diligently check if the tournament is approved by a recognized sports authority/ association.”

The ACU also asked the cops to find out why the Indian flags were removed from the venue and why white sheets were used to keep outsiders away from the venue.
