Kings XI Punjab’s medium pacer Sreesanth, it seems, has failed to learn from his past mistakes and was again staring at a penalty in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match after his sarcastic clapping at the umpires and Rajasthan Royals batsman Michael Lumb here at the Sawai Man Singh Stadium.
The incident took place in the third over when an erratic Sreesanth, who conceded 40 runs from three overs, was called for two no-balls and was hit by Lumb for a four in the free-hit. This infuriated the bowler who first clapped at Lumb and then at the umpires.
Sreesanth’s teammate Yuvraj Singh was not pleased with his antics and immediately walked up to him and asked the bowler to mend his ways.
For record, in the first edition at home Sreesanth was slapped by Harbhajan Singh and that left the medium pacer crying on the field. Sreesanth was left with a warning while Harbhajan was suspended from rest of the tournament.
