The scandal and the odium that followed the 2000s revelations served to drive away many of the fans from the sport they loved dearly.
The investigators, who unearthed the 2000 match-fixing scandal that shook the faith of many cricket lovers in the game, feel "satisfied" with the extradition of Chawla, a key accused in the case, from the UK on Thursday.
Chawla, a British national as per Delhi Police charge sheet, absconding hitherto in the match-fixing case, was linked with several international cricketers, including Indian players.
Chawla, who was extradited from London in February, was granted bail by a trial court in Delhi on April 30 on furnishing of a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh and two sureties of the like amount.
The fifth Test at Centurion in 2000, which ended on January 18 with an exciting narrow England win, was celebrated at the time for its wonderful spirit before the shroud of match-fixing was lifted to reveal a cancer of corruption at the heart of the game.
The cooperation was discussed during ICC Anti-Corruption Unit General Manger, Alex Marshall's visit to the Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France.
