Sourav Ganguly – “If Sreesanth is found guilty; he must be banned for lifetime.”

N Srinivasan (Board president) – “I am shocked to hear this news. Legal action will be taken against the cricketers if found guilty.”

Navjot Singh Siddhu – “In spite of all the scandals, betrayals and controversies, if the parliament can still be sacrosanct, why call the IPL Paap League.”

Sunil Gavaskar – “We need to wait till the whole thing is over and we also need to look at the whole situation because you are innocent till you are proved guilty.”

Sreesanth’s father – “Harbhajan Singh and MS Dhoni framed my son.”

Sreesanth’s mother – “I just want to say that my son is not a person who runs after money. This is very clear since he has turned down many offers from the film world as he is totally devoted to cricket, which is his life. He will never betray cricket.”

Suresh Raina’s Cricket Graph    

Here goes the cricket history of Suresh Raina, the Uttar Pradesh born cricketer. Born in the year 1986, Suresh Raina decided that cricket was to be his profession. Hence, in the year 1999, he attended GovernmentSportsCollege, one of the best training colleges for cricket. Young Raina became the captain of Uttar Pradesh’s under-16 team. This was when the Indian cricket team selectors spotted the budding talent and elected him to represent the under-19 Indian team that was to tour England. From then on, he never turned back. Here is a glimpse of his accomplishments in cricket.

  • Suresh Raina made his One Day International debut against Sri Lanka in the year 2005 at Dambulla.
  • He made his test debut in the year 2010 against Srilanka at Colombo.
  • He hit his maiden century against Hong Kong in the 2008 Asia Cup. He took only 66 balls to reach his first century, which is the second fastest century in the history of Indian cricket.
  • He is the 12th Indian to score a century in test debut.
  • He has won three successive Man of the Match awards during the matches against Pakistan and Bangladesh.
  • He represents Chennai Super Kings in IPL matches from the year 2008 and he has been performing well.
  • In the absence of Captain Mahendra Dhoni, Suresh Raina was made the captain of Chennai Super Kings.
  • Being a great fielder, he was rightly awarded the ‘Best Fielder Award’ by BCCI.
  • He owns the record for the most number of catches taken in T20 in the year 2012.
  • He also holds the record for the most number of runs scored in IPL matches.

The attacking left-handed batsman has been marvelous in his performance. He treats the ball with such contempt that big shots look easier when he plays. His fielding performance has been excellent and has won praise from many experts. Though it took him good five years to have a confirmed place as a regular in Indian team, he has performed immensely well. He is known for his ability to find gaps to chase the balls to boundary. His determination can be gauged by the fact that he was relentless in his efforts to get back to the team after he was dropped during 2007 world cup. He has performed well for his years and let us hope he continues to excel and outperform his past performances.

Cricketers confessed to have done the crime

May 19th, 2013 admin

In police investigation, all the three cricketers alleged in spot fixing scandal have confessed their crimes. They have admitted that they did what the bookies asked them to do.

Ankeet Chavan was the first man to break down. During investigation, he started crying and told everything to the police.

The next morning, the other two cricketers, Chandila and Sreesanth also confessed to have done the spot fixing.

According to Sreesanth, his friend Jiju janardan dragged him in all this.

However, Sreesanth’s lawyer is still saying that his client is innocent. He is cooperating in the police investigation and he will be out of it soon.

Meanwhile, Sreesanth’s laptop, mobile and I-pad have been seized by the police and the contact numbers of the bookies have been found from his mobile. Also, there were contact numbers and photos of girls in his laptop which suggests that he might be supplied escorts by the bookies.

Yesterday evening, the police also went to Ajit Chandila’s house at Faridabad and they are believed to have found some important proofs there as well.

From where the players were arrested?

May 19th, 2013 admin

The three alleged players were arrested from different locations at around 2.30 am in the morning on 16th of May.

Sreesanth was arrested from his friend’s house and at the time of arrest, he was with a female according to the police. However, the police didn’t disclose the identity of that female.

Ajit Chandila was arrested near the Intercontinental hotel where a lot of bookies were staying.

While, the third guy Ankeet Chavan was arrested near the Trident hotel.

According to Delhi police, they had tapped the phones of several cricketers as they had the suspicion that spot fixing might happen in this IPL, but, barring these three cricketers, no other cricketer is found to have any contact with the bookies.

Some officials of Delhi police were also sent in the stadium to see what these cricketers do during the commercial breaks as the signals to the bookies could also be given during those ad breaks.

The three incidents of spot fixing

May 19th, 2013 admin

According to Delhi Police, the three matches in whom spot fixing happened are as follows-

1)    The first one was the match between Pune Warriors India and Rajasthan Royals which was played on 5th of May. The venue was Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.

According to the deal, Ajit Chandila had to give 14 or more runs in his second over and the bookies had to give him 40 lakh rupees for that. 50% of the amount was already paid in advance and 50% was promised to be paid after the match.

Chandila had to give a signal to the bookies by pulling his shirts out, but, he forgot to give that signal.

However, Chandila didn’t forget to give 14 runs in his second over. The fine leg was up in the circle, but, still, he was bowling juicy deliveries on the batsmen’s pads and he was smashed through that fine leg region for three fours. 14 came off that over and Chandila had done his job.

But, since, he had not given the signal, the bookies couldn’t bet and that’s why, they were pressurizing Chandila to return those 20 lakhs which were paid to him in advance.

2)    The second one was the match between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals which was played on 9th of May. The venue was PCA Stadium, Mohali.

Sreesanth had to give 13 runs in his second over in that match and he had to give the signal to the bookies by putting a towel in his trousers.

Sreesanth didn’t do what Chandila had done. He gave the signal alright and then, gave the fixed amount of runs in that over as well.

With no fielders in the deep on the on side, he continued bowling short and got dispatched for three fours.

He had done his job successfully and he was paid 40 lakhs for that by the bookies.

3)    The third one was the match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals which was played on 15th of May. The venue was Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

This time, the bookies’ man was Ankeet Chavan who was asked to give 14 or more runs in his second over.

Chavan landed the first ball of his second over halfway down the track so that the batsman Maxwell could hit it anywhere for a six.

Then, Chavan gave him a juicy half volley on the off stump and allowed him to free his hands and hit that over long on for a six again.

A couple also came in between and Chavan went for more than 14 in that over. The job was done and Chavan got his 60 lakhs as promised by the bookies.
