Former India pacer S Sreesanth has at long last opened up on the 2013 spot-fixing scandal within the IPL, in which he was banned beside a handful of other players from Rajasthan Royals (RR).
“This is the first interview in which I am sharing or explaining it. It was supposed to be one over and 14-plus runs. Thus, I bowled four balls for five runs. No no-ball, no wide, and also not a single slower ball in an IPL game. I was bowling at 130-plus after 12 surgeries on my toe.” he said
Irani Trophy
“I had played the Irani Trophy and was looking to play the South African series so that we can win in September 2013. We were going early, and it moves better in September. My goal was to play that series. A person like that, why would I do it, that too for 10 lakhs? I am not talking big but I used to have bills of around 2 lakh when I partied around.” he added
However, Sreesanth has said that he utilized to make most of his individual payments by card and not by cash. He included that the supplications of his well-wishers made a difference for him to urge out of the rut.
“I used to pay with my card not cash. If I had so much cash, I would have been spraying it out. In fact, I used to take care of even a normal person.” he said
“In my life, I have only helped and given belief. I have helped a lot of people, and those prayers helped me get out of this. All I would ask is – two balls, five runs, two balls to go. How would I give away all that I had invested? No way,” the Kerala cricketer concluded. he added
