Indian Premier League career
His (IPL) career started in 2011 when Delhi Daredevils selected him in their probable team. He made his IPL debut on 23 April 2012 at Jaipur. It is known that he is mentored by Indian spinner Narendra Hirwani. Ajit became the first bowler in the IPL's fifth season to take a hat-trick. He is the seventh bowler to get hat-trick for Rajasthan Royals in the history of the IPL.
Chandila got into controversy in IPL 6 when he ran-out Adam Gilchrist and appealed against him when Gilchrist was caught short of the crease while taking evasive action to a throw that hit him on the glove. Gilchrist termed it completely against the spirit of the game.
Spot fixing allegation and arrest
On 16 May 2013, he was arrested on charges of spot-fixing during IPL 6 by the Delhi police along with Sreesanth and Ankeet Chavan, who play alongside him for Rajasthan Royals.
Chandila had allegedly received ₹4.9 million (US$76,000) from bookies in the 2013 IPL season, of which ₹1.5 million (US$23,000) was paid to him to spot-fix in the match against Mumbai Indians on 17 May 2013 before which he was arrested. After being arrested, he was immediately suspended by his employer, Air India. In January 2016, he was given a life ban from all forms of cricket by the BCCI.
