Mostly False 4/10
“Muttiah Muralitharan said that the Indian Premier League (IPL) is "pure business" and that IPL organizers make flat pitches because low-scoring matches are boring for sponsors.”
The evidence supports only a weaker version of this statement. In reliable interview coverage, Muralitharan called the IPL “a big business” and said fairer wickets could be seen as boring and risk losing sponsors. He was not shown saying “pure business” or explicitly stating that organizers make flat pitches because low-scoring matches bore sponsors.

True 9/10
“The 2026 Indian Premier League match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings was scheduled for April 5, 2026, at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.”
Official IPL documentation directly confirms this fixture. The IPL match-center page for Match 11 explicitly lists RCB vs CSK at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on April 5, 2026, consistent with the official schedule PDF and multiple independent fixture summaries. No credible source indicates the match was rescheduled or relocated. Counterarguments based on omissions from team pages or ticketing platforms do not override direct official listings.
