Harbhajan slaps Sreesanth, BCCI trying a Cover-Up

Millions of cricket viewers were shocked when they saw Sressanth crying bitterly on the field after the IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab was over. Later, it was confirmed that Sreesanth wept, as he was slapped by Harbhajan Singh. It created an outrage in the cricketing circle and everyone condemned Harbhajan's behaviour. Later, Harbhajan went to the dressing room and apologised to Sreesanth.

It seems that BCCI is trying to cover-up the shameful incident that shocked the cricket world. This is the for the first time that two players of the senior team engaged in a on-field brawl. Harbhajan Singh has been news for all wrong reasons. He needs to rein in immediately. BCCI's flip-flop on this issue was evident, when Sreesanth later said it was not serious and was part of the game. Sreesanth may have forgiven Harbhajan, but can the millions of cricket lovers condone such irrational behavior from a senior cricketer???
