'Shoaib Malik slapppppppped Sreesanth'

Slipping of a banana peel hurt the one who falls but also brings the smile for others who are watching. Hitting a four on the first ball is a moment of joy for the batsman but not for the bowler. Any incident on or off the field is joy for some and sorrow for others. But sometimes it also becomes controversial for the one who is laughing at the victim’s mistakes. Hence the people are aware of this while doing it. This is what was seen during the IPL’s match between Delhi Daredevil and Mumbai Indians at Mohali one day after the spat between Sreesanth and Harbhajan, which already have huge media coverage.

It was a moment of joy for the Delhi Daredevils in Sunday’s match when in the fifth over Shoaib Malik hit a four on the first ball of Sreesanth. This particular four of the match was so significant that Rameez Raza in his commentary said “Shoaib slappppppppped through the off side”. These words could have easily dissolved as so many fours were hit later on. But Rameez corrected himself after saying that “actually I shouldn’t say it slap, it would become controversial”, so he said “he hit it so hard through the off side”.

Now Harbhajan Singh has been banned for the rest of the IPL matches besides 100 per cent fine on his match fees. Both Bhajji and Sree were seen hand-in-hand and cheering with each other, as if they have sorted out their problem. Harbhajan has realised his mistake and apologized to Sreesanth. Sree also has been so kind of saying Bhajji his elder brother. It’s a part of the game, Sree said on Saturday. That is what the spirit of game is all about, leaving all the bad incidents and move on for better and learn from your mistakes.
