Sreesanth – Is he a spoiled brat?

Sreesanth is the only cricketer who made it big from Kerala; one of the states from southern India. Strangely he is the only cricketer whom keralites hates the most now a days.

Is that his attitude pissing people off? Or it is his over aggression and animated celebration that he exhibits after every wicket he takes?

 

What ever the case, you hate him or love him, definitely you can’t ignore him due to his over expressions and antics he shows off as break dance in every occasions there are more than 3 people as a group.

 

A sneak look at his career - he is a cricketer with a lot of passion for cricket and break dance that he often expose with proud, on the stage when you see him doing ice walk of Michael Jackson, one would be wishing how if he just go away off the stage while doing the ice walk. 

He is very good with media. Talks well, most of the part will be praising himself that nobody can hit him for a six thrice in a row and stuff like that, but media also seems like possessing some likings towards him as an over spoken idiot and pretty happy to find some one from another field to better them in this department.

 

It was his T20 world cup appearance and those antics and abuse to his co-players made him a super star over night. He shoot in to the fame by hitting ground with both of his hands after taking a wicket of Australian Swashbuckler Andrew Symonds. Could you believe it? It was one of the strangest and weirdest ways of celebrating the wicket fall. Andrew Symonds didn’t like it so is Australian cricketers. He had pretty good tournament in the T20 world cup, that made him few bucks richer by signing some of the ad contracts and BCCI’s rewards (he was so kind to give almost half of those hard earned money by abusing players to ICC as fines). But clearly Captain Dhoni wasn’t happy with his uncanny ability to piss off anybody who just gets close to him. Sreesanth never had a habit to listen to anybody even his own captain, if captain ask him to bowl at off side he will bowl at on side, Dhoni often outsmart him by asking him to bowl at on side when he really wanted off side. This is how you manage a wild bull that doesn’t have control over his own power.

 

His dream run suddenly faced a dead end by getting a tight slap on face by his own team mate and opposite bowler in first edition of IPL. It was the funniest, saddest and hilarious moment in IPL till the date. Sree cried like a baby, all of a sudden this incident left millions of cricket fans world wide wondering is he the one jumped, grunted and abused the Incredible Hulk like creatures Mathew Heyden and Andrew Symonds? What if that slap is by any one of them? He may dissolve in their hands. Good for Sree though, they had much more patients than his own team mates Harbhajan Singh. He bowled really well after the slap gate incident and got the award for leading wicket taker in IPL 2008. Other side Harbhajan Singh felt he is the most idiotic cricketer in the world who got caught by police for breaking into a toilet! His dreams to own a Hummer H3 sink in Arabian Sea without a trace. His own people started hating him tanks to Sreesanth’s place in Punjab Super Kings.

 

It was not excess cricket that took toll on Sreesanths body; rather it was Australian’s curse and Bhaji’s disappointment, Sree looked more enthusiastic and fast when he show off those chimp antics after he takes a wicket than when he really bowl at a batsmen.

 

He developed tennis bowl elbow and out of the international cricket side for almost one year. As anyone could imagine; he is too good to earn friends as well as enemies though enemies weigh more in his case, unfortunately he earned a lot of them in media by not attending their calls and ignoring them completely like sh**. Even channels from Kerala started to hate Sreesanth, he always ignored the invitation by Kerala Cricket Board Associations to inaugurate some stadiums or attend a meeting. Common Sree, you should be more than happy for getting a call from authorities for something as good as opening a new stadium, or are you suspicious about your own evil hand that may turn the stadium as monument of bad luck?!

 

What made him so notorious? Why he doesn’t change? How has he got that ability to piss off people who get close to him? These are few unanswered questions the world faces today like global warming and Osama Bin Laden’s hideouts!
