Chappell Slapped at Bhubaneswar Airport

In a bizarre incident that sent shock wave across the cricketing world, a person belonging to the so-called Kalinga Sena, slapped Greg Chappell, the Indian coach at Bhubaneswar (Orissa) Airport. This is a clear case of security lapse and the Orissa government is to blame for this incident. The incident showed how callous the security staff were even though there is a dangerous threat to the Indian cricket team from the terrorists.

Although the incident occurred just a few minutes ago, BCCI President Sharad Pawar was quick to react and assured to talk to the Orissa CM, Naveen Pattnaik in this regard.

The reason given by the accused Biranchi Moharana was ridiculous and absurd. He claimed that Orissa players were repeatedly neglected by the BCCI and the selection committee. He held BCCI and Chappell responsible for this. However, he seems to have forgotten that Orissa just managed to reach the Elite stage after a gap of four years. You can't expect your players to be in the Indian squad when your team has been playing in the plate division for the last four years. First set your house in order, then demand what you deserve.
