No prizes for guessing the reference to context, surely not many players have left a dent on the game like Bhajji has.
Well, well, the chaos doesn’t seem to die down at all. Harbhajan Singh, in his wildest of dreams, would not have even imagined that his slap would create pandemonium of this proportion. The episode is now more than 12 days old and Bhajji in turn has been ‘slap’ped a sentence which prohibits him to play in this edition of the IPL. It seems that he hit Sreesanth so hard that the tremors of his whack have moved the match officials, IPL organisers, BCCI and now the BCCI appointed inquiry commissioner into action.
Let us all briefly go scene-by-scene through the ‘Slapgate’ sequence.
25th April, 2008: Kings XI beat Mumbai Indians at Mohali. Suddenly there is a buzz about Sreesanth crying. TV channels are flashing footage of the bubbling Keralite sobbing inconsolably. News comes in that Sreesanth has been slapped by Mumbai Indians skipper Harbhajan Singh. Kings XI skipper Yuvraj Singh and coach Tom Moody criticise Bhajji’s act.
26th April, 2008: Sreesanth speaks tothe media and clarifies that it was only ‘a handshake which went wrong’ and vehemently denied Bhajji slapping him. Nevertheless, his statement was half baked and there was definitely some more meat in it. BCCI slaps a showcause notice on Harbhajan asking him to clarify his action and reply by 28th April.
