Sreesanth’s IPL ambition shattered
Recently, Malayalee pacer S Sreesanth could not get a place in any team in the IPL megastar auction. The base price of the star was Rs 50 lakh. Sreesanth’s hopes of making it to the IPL team for the first time since 2013 were dashed. S Sreesanth was the star of Rajasthan Royals in 2013. However, Sreesanth was later banned by the BCCI for being involved in a spot-fixing controversy that season. Sreesanth got justice in 2020 after a long legal battle. Sreesanth, who registered for the auction last season, was not shortlisted.
