Moments after Indian Premier League (IPL) teams Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) were suspended for two years by the Supreme Court in the 2013 IPL betting and spot fixing scandal, Twitterati had a field day on the social networking site.

Former CSK team official Gurunath Meiyappan and Rajasthan Royals co-owner Raj Kundra were suspended for life from any cricketing activity undertaken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The guilty duo were also suspended from any cricket related activity for a period of five years. They were earlier found guilty of betting in the scandal that rocked the lucrative Twenty20 tournament in 2013.
The hashtag #IPLVerdict was trending for the entire day with most hailing the decision, but there were some who were lamenting the decision.
Some tweets were downright hilarious. Most of them took the opportunity to poke fun at the officials associated with franchises, the teams and just anybody 'corrupt'.
