Shanthakumaran Sreesanth All 10 Odi Wickets | England Tour India 2006

#birthday #indiancricket #indveng #engvsind #ShanthakumaranSreesanth Temperamental Indian fast bowler Sreesanth, who was born today, made news as much for his occasional brilliance with the ball as for his propensity for controversy. He figured prominently in two of India's finest wins of the late 2000s - in Jamaica in 2006 and Johannesburg later that year. But it was mostly downhill since there, what with him being slapped by Harbhajan Singh after an IPL game, a series of injuries, and declining form. Sreesanth's fall was complete when he was among three Rajasthan Royals players arrested in May 2013 for the alleged fulfilling of promises made to bookmakers in the IPL, following which the BCCI's disciplinary committee found him guilty of spot-fixing and banned him for life. It was reduced to seven years, and Sreesanth briefly made a comeback in domestic cricket before retiring in 2022.
