The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned cricket icon Shikhar Dhawan for questioning in a high-profile money laundering case tied to the illegal betting app 1xBet, sources revealed. The 39-year-old former Indian opener, known for his explosive batting, is set to have his statement recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).

Dhawan’s alleged involvement stems from endorsements linked to the controversial app. The ED is diving deep to uncover his role in the scam, which has reportedly swindled crores from investors and evaded massive taxes. This probe follows similar questioning of cricketer Suresh Raina last month.

The case shines a spotlight on illegal betting apps plaguing India, prompting the government to recently ban real-money online gaming. Will Dhawan clear his name, or is this a game-changer for his reputation?
