The on-field umpires referred the decision to the third umpire who eventually gave the Zimbabwe batsman out hit wicket.

Brendan Taylor Admits to being approached by bookies

In his official statement, Brendan Taylor also stated that the bookies had threatened to leak out his video consuming Cocaine and former Zimbabwe cricketer had no other option other than accepting their demands to fix matches. Former India Cricket Gautam Gambhir also mentioned in his column that he was really disappointed by Taylor’s confessions and noted that he is quite concerned about the freedom with the bookies constantly approaching the players around the world.

“I was reading Taylor’s statement with the same emotion – disappointment, disgust, and anger. I read it once but it didn’t make me angry. I read it again and it was the same. I read it the third time and the emotions were different. Don’t get me wrong as I am not supporting Taylor.” Gambhir wrote in his column for The Times Of India.

“I am only concerned about the circumstances which forced him, a father of four children fearing for his and his family’s lives, to delay reporting the incident to the International Cricket Council Anti-Corruption Unit. Taylor is a sportsperson and not a hard-nosed criminal whose faculties would support him if six individuals barged into his hotel room with a threat to release a video where he was reportedly consuming a banned substance,” Gambhir added.
