The incident that has shaken the 2013 IPL is still haunting Sreesanth. After a considerable time lapse, there was earlier a moment when it felt like something good has happened, as Kerala High Court has passed a statement claiming that the ban on this ace bowler might be lifted if BCCI has to consider it. But, that didn’t stay for long.
We all know that Sreesanth is slapped with spot-fixing while playing for the IPL team Rajasthan Royals. Soon after that, a single-judge bench of the Kerala High Court had revoked the life ban decision. But, now, to very much surprise, a new decision by a division bench of the Court added that the life ban imposed by the BCCI on Sreesanth will stay.
Amidst his preparations for the comeback, this retaliation from the High Court has shocked the former cricketer who was all set to play Ranji Trophy for Kerala. The 34-year-old bowler even blasted the Kerala High Court in a series of tweets for not lifting the life ban on his cricketing career.
Infuriated Sreesanth went quoting the court’s calling as “worst decision ever”, next to that, he questioned the BCCI’s decision on allowing Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) back in the league. The two teams had completed their 2 years of suspension.
Starting with the tweet, “This is the worst decision ever..special rule for me?what about real culprits?What about Chennai super kings? And what about Rajasthan?”

This spat between Sreesanth and the authorities is simply donning the news now and then, with no edge really decoded. There is always this doubt on why no complete details about the “Closed envelope” are revealed. What all the fuss is about is still unknown!
However, kicking aside these conspiracies, Sreesanth’s fans are always been supportive from the day one. Many are waiting for his comeback and the tweets, comments, and messages to him are the sole proofs of his good will.
Check out some of the opinions and comments made by the netizens:
