# Karthik Iyengar Source: https://cricketin.org/authors/data-editor Data Editor. [Editorial policy](/editorial-policy) 18+ Betting money on cricket carries a direct risk of financial loss, and it can become an addiction. Real-money online gaming is banned across India under the PROG Act 2025, which came into force on 1 May 2026. If betting is already costing you money you need, or sleep, or people close to you, the free Tele-MANAS helpline is **14416**, and it runs in 20 languages. Our [page on help for gambling harm](/guides/help-for-gambling-harm-india) lists what else exists. --- Checks the numbers, dates and tables, and reads back the site's own pages Karthik Iyengar Data Editor, Cricketin Portrait is a line drawing, not a photograph. ## About Karthik Karthik is the second pair of eyes on anything with a figure in it: a schedule, a table, a probability, the date a rule came into force. Data and reporting work in Chennai, most of it spent finding where a number came from. Karthik also reviews the pages Rajeev Sathe writes about the site itself — policy, method and corrections — so no one on this desk signs off their own work. ## What this role covers - Tables, schedules and dates - Odds and probability arithmetic - Source checks before publication - The site's own method, policy and corrections pages ### Where the role stops A data check confirms that a number matches its source and that the source still says it. It is not a claim that the source itself is right. ## How a page with this name on it is checked Karthik does not publish alone. Every page is read back by a second person before it goes out, and the byline names both. The standard both work to is in our [editorial policy](/editorial-policy), and the method behind the numbers is set out in [how we test](/how-we-test). Sources are linked in the page itself, primary text first. Where something cannot be checked yet, the page says so instead of guessing. Anything found wrong after publication is logged on the [corrections page](/corrections) with the date and what changed. ## Pages Karthik signs ### Written by Karthik (142) - [BBL Winners List: Every Big Bash Champion from 2011 to 2026](/blog/big-bash-league-winners) -
