New Delhi: Ajit Chandila's hopes of resuming cricket suffered a massive blow on Monday after BCCI's disciplinary committee imposed a life ban on him for his role in IPL spot-fixing.

Here are five facts you must know about the tainted spinner:

 

He made his first-class debut for Haryana in 2010 and was signed by Delhi Daredevils the following season.

Playing for Rajasthan Royals in 2012, Chandila bagged a hat-trick against Pune Warriors, with the wickets of Sourav Ganguly, Jesse Ryder and Robin Uthappa.

Chandila has 24 wickets from 28 T20 matches to his name.
