In a much-awaited announcement that will decide the fate of disgraced Indian off spinner Harbhajan Singh, BCCI appointed commissioner Sudhir Nanavati completed his reported over the Harbhajan Sreesanth slapping episode that took place a fortnight ago in the Indian Premier League. With the whole cricketing world in arms over the incident, which left sportsmanship ethics and morality down in the drain as far as the game of the cricket, is concerned, the BCCI had to take quick steps to rectify the issue and they sought out the help of eminent lawyer Sudhir Nanavati for this issue.

The Ahmedabad based lawyer has been working diligently over this case during the past fortnight and had summoned both Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth for this case. After repeated hearings for both these Indian campaigners, Mr. Nanavati has satisfactorily compiled a report and will not require any more information from either of these two players. Sudhir Nanavati was appointed under the Rule 32 of the BCCI under which the Board president has the power to appoint a Commissioner to assist its disciplinary Committee. The report submitted by Nanavati will be refereed to the BCCI disciplinary Committee after Board president Sharad Pawar goes through it. The Committee will then arrive on a decision that will eventually decide the fate of the players involved.

This disgraceful incident occurred on the aftermath of the Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab encounter during the after match celebrations. Reports suggest that Harbhajan Singh was upset after losing a hard fought match and his rage soon turned violent when Sreesanth went up to throw salt on a lost cause. Apparently, Harbhajan lost his bearings and slapped Sreesanth leading to the Kerala fast bowler going down in tears in public causing widespread embarrassment for the BCCI and the IPL organisers. This is not the first time Harbhajan Singh has been embroiled in controversy with the Punjab off spinner warned over and over again about his conduct on the Punjab. Harbhajan has been involved in a series of fights and misconducts all his life with the verbal duel with Andrew Symonds and Matthew Hayden high of the agenda. However, this physical duel with his own team India cricket buddy has left the entire cricketing world shocked and gasping for answers. While the turbanator keeps IPL scores ticking over with fast runs and regular wickets, he might just have to count his lucky stars to escape with a mild punishment when the report comes out in open in two days time.
