Late, but Sehwag admits the injury!

Sehwag has finally accepted the shoulder injury and put a full stop the issue. The BCCI yesterday issued a statement about Sehwag's return to home and replacing him with Dinesh Karthick.

The media reported a rift between Sehwag and Dhoni and the captain lost his cool. This is an unwanted situation if the responsible Indian opener and vice-captain admitted to his injury before starting the journey to England.

The BCCI has gone by the player's word rather than checking on the fitness and approval process. This shows lapse in the medical fitness process and created unnecessary problems for Dhoni.

The whole Indian team walked into the press conference to say that they are united and there is no rift between Sehwag and Dhoni.

Sure that the vice-captain has let Dhoni down and giving him more trouble! In future, BCCI should do a thorough test and clear each player without depending on players' word.

Delhi Daredevils and Mumbai Indians fined!

Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils have been fined by the IPL for maintaining slow over rate durng their match in Mumbai on Sunday, May 4.

The home team won by 29 runs upsetting the Delhi Daredevils, who were in the winning freak.

Match Referee Javagal Srinath found both the team guilty of bowling slow and hence fined them. Since IPL is following ICC rules, for every over short, the team would be fined $500.

Mumbai Indians found to be two overs short and Delhi Daredevils one over short. Both of them have been fined $1000 and $500 respectively.

This was already a worry for the IPL organizers as the teams were taking more time in the field.
