CONTROVERSIES IN IPL

IPL seems to make headlines for all wrong reasons controversies than exciting finishes of games.The Views and News taking a look into it.



First of this kind is very unusual in our cricket that a player slapping his own counterpart , own country men in very open ground. Sreeshant could have never thought that his habit of sledging would earn him a slap from an Indian. Harbajan was obviously upset over onfield behaviour of sreeshant and decided to use his hands rather in words as reply. But his 11 match IPL ban may not seem harch enough for a crime of that nature,anyway both of them may seem convinced to each other hughing in front of media.



Next comes the Dada , Warne controversy. Warne complained on sourav that he has not played the game in right spirit and asking an on field umpire to go for third umpire after smith took the catch , also letting the Rajasthan Royals to wait in hot ground as sourav came late for play. Though KnightRiders clarified that wait is not so long to be punished that it is just 70 sec. Ganguly later raised dust to it by refering th carear of warne which has lot of controversies in it. Both of them fined 10% of their match fee.



Now its turn of politicians to target the IPL. Thoese cheer leaders dress is in talk of covering very little skin. They even warned the franchise owners to cover the skins of chear leaders following the Indian culture rather to face any action against them.With millions of rupees being spent on these girls the franchise owners surely will do a rethink about them.

INTERVIEW WITH DADA

How do you feel losing your place in the ODI's ?

It was a nightmare, really. Losing the one-day place was shattering. You will not believe it but I knew it was coming because I was not judged on cricketing merit. It was terrible.
I felt very bad, very hurt. You obviously feel bad when you lose your place. It was devastating, but a lesson too. Cricket is a great learning experience.

How's it to be without playing cricket ?

Life is not just cricket. The time spent at home was quality time and mattered more than anything else. For almost 12 years, I have been hopping from one country to another, one city to another, catching flights, living out of suitcases.
It made me a better person in many ways. I could handle pressure better, judge success and failure in the right perspective. My perspective towards life changed. I would say that it was the most important phase of my career and helped me get my confidence back.

Is Fitness the reason for your ommision from ODI Team ?

Fitness? What is fitness? If I was not fit, I would not have survived this long. I have worked hard and survived by scoring runs and taking wickets. I did it the hard way, and with support from my fans.


Your Experience as stint of Indian skipper and losing that position ?

It was a huge honour to lead India but when I lost my captaincy, it also gave me a lot of time to work on my game. I just did not give up. I set myself a time period. I had achieved almost everything in cricket — played Tests, one-dayers, captained, and done well in World Cup. I had to come back, and I knew I could. I just gave it everything that I had.
