Sreesanth's life ban: Twitterati exposes BCCI's hypocrisy, demands justice for the pacer

If anyone is following the Twitter handle @sreesanth36, the person must have known by now that the Kerala High Court has reinstalled the life ban on the Kerala-born pacer S Sreesanth, after Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)’s appeal against the previous verdict, where the HC had lifted the ban. Following the incident, the 34-year old has expressed his views on the decision on Twitter.

Such a decision was expected to split the public in two halves – one which supports the ban and the other which doesn’t. In this case, it appears as if the latter half is the stronger. The general reaction from the cricket maniacs is that they are baffled by the hypocrisy of the BCCI. While at one hand the board is imposing a life ban on the pacer, they are allowing corruption-stricken teams like Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals to feature in the Indian Premier League again.

Hence, the standpoint of the people is clear. They haven’t forgotten the man who took the all important catch of Misbah-ul-Haq to declare India as the champions of the inaugural ICC World T20 2007. They want to see the 140kmph cannons again, and hence are bashing the board for their harsh stand in this case.

Here are some tweets

What is happening..?Losing hope in Judiciary too..@BCCI seems to be like some terrorist group with ultra power where common man is nothing.

This lady went on to the extent of calling BCCI a “terrorist group”.

We need to file an appeal exposing BCCI's hypocrisy ,how they deal with Meiyappan ,CSK ,RR and 12 names in sealed envelope

BCCI’s soft-hearted stand in CSK and RR’s case is surely tarnishing their image.

@BCCI & @RJohri have a lot of questions to answer. Where is the evidence against @sreesanth36 Why so stubborn, who are you guys protecting

— Saji Babu Chandran (@SajBabChandran) October 17, 2017

People have started asking questions to BCCI.

That includes big fish like Stuart binny @msdhoni all culrprits!! only revenge u can take is go to north india join politics and teach them

— Manu Prathap (@manu_pm36) October 17, 2017

Well then, this claim from Manu Prathap is surely a big one.

Looks like the previous person is not the only one who feels former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is involved in this saga, someway or the other.

Can you make a comeback to team ? Hoping for for the best

— Shubham Kumar Hota (@IamShubhamHota) October 17, 2017

Some are still hopeful about the comeback of Sree in the Indian team.

Is BCCI really heartless? Highest courts dismissed all allegations and charges filed on you, court said you are not guilty. Please fight.

— Sunil Mandava (@sunil_sachin) October 17, 2017

Many are accusing BCCI of being “heartless”.

Don't know why cricketers like Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid, Kumble etc don't talk for Sreesanth

— Hrithik (@Hrkhrx10) October 17, 2017

Shall the legends like Tendulkar and Dravid express their views regarding this matter?

Chennai Super king team has more than half national team players that's why BCCI is playing game with u.

A game inside a game?
