Praveen Kumar in a drunken brawl – Yet another IPL controversy

Indian pacer Praveen Kumar, who is currently playing for Royal Challengers, is accused of beating up a doctor in Meerut on Thursday night, according to reports by a private news channel.


According to reports, Praveen's action might lead to stringent measures from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The report is however silent on how IPL will punish him.

Two things that intrigued me :

  1. What was he doing in Meerut? Isn’t he supposed to be traveling with Royal Challengers? Alternatively, did Mallya send him home to save costs, a la Kolkata Knightriders.?
  2. Was he drunk on Royal Challenge or on Kingfisher?

Q said...

Whyd he beat up a doctor? was he in a clinic / hopsital or was it some Dr. in a bar / oudoor location?

Your second doubt is my first doubt. It is a toss up which of the two got him to lay his hands on a doc. Has money got into his head so soon. He was the only wicket taking bowler for the challengers.

Homer,

Being a police man's son and a T20 player, I suspect he would prefer local hooch.

Q,

As Crazybugga says he wanted to beat up a Dr.(Mallya). So he beat up the nearest one. :)

He comes from a family of wrestlers. I guess he was showing some of his non-cricketing talents.
