‘Disgusting, heartless and inhuman’: Former Indian player S Sreesanth’s wife blasted on Lalit Modi and Michael Clarke

Former Indian cricketer S Sreesanth's wife Bhuvesneshwari reacted to the recent viral clip of Sreesanth and Harbhajan's slap controversy.

Recently, founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) Lali Modi released unseen footage of the former Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh and S Sreesanth’s slap controversy during the match of the Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab (Now Punjab Kings) in the first edition of the IPL 2008.

He showed the unseen clip in an interview with the Australian great Michael Clarke. As we can clearly see, the star player Harbhajan Singh slapped S Sreesanth. However, the incident was so controversial that Harbhajan was handed an 11-match suspension.

Lalit Modi also revealed the whole situation to Clarke in an interview. “I’ll tell you what happened. I will give you the video. I have kept it back. Bhajji is a very dear friend of mine. I love him. It happened on the field, and I was there. It was Bhajji, and it was Sreesanth. The game was over, and the cameras were shut off. Only one of my security cameras was on. As the team finished playing, the players were high-fiv5’ing’ and shaking hands with each other. When it came to Sreesanth and Bhajji. Harbhajan just said to him, ‘Come here’, and gave him a backhander,” he told Michael Clark on Beyond23 podcast.

However, S Sreesanth’s wife Bhuvneshwari blasted Michael Clark and Lalit Modi for revealing the unseen footage of both the cricketers. She stated them as “disgusting, heartless and inhuman.”. She also added that Harbhajan and Sreesanth had already moved on in their lives ,and they are bringing up an old issue again just to get cheap publicity.

“Shame on you @lalitkmodi and @michaelclarkeofficial. You people are not even human to drag up something from 2008 just for your own cheap publicity and views. Both @sreesanthnair36 and Harbhajan have long moved on, they are fathers now with school-going children, and yet you try to throw them back into an old wound. Absolutely disgusting, heartless, and inhuman,” She wrote this on her Instagram stories.

She also added “@sreesanthnair36 has rebuilt his life with dignity and grace after every hardship he faced. As his wife, and as the mother of his children, it is deeply painful for our family to see this resurface after 18 long years. Families are being forced to relive trauma that was buried decades ago only so you can chase views. This doesn’t just hurt the players, it scars their innocent children who now have to face questions and shame for no fault of theirs,” 

“You should be sued for doing something so cheap and inhumane. Sreesanth is a man of strength and character, and no video can take that dignity away from him. Fear God before you hurt families and innocent children for your own gain,” she wrote in her Instagram stories.
