All blamed me for getting emotional ..?? cmon who doesn't get emotional whn u know the person who u worship is a backstabbing person Nd ..," Sreesanth wrote in a series of expletives-laden tweets.
"I want the world to c it..Whn I went to shake hands afte the match..he had lost it..he had already planned to hit me (elbow me) all his anger" the Kerala pacer went on to add.
However, Sudhir Nanvati, the investigator of incident, supported Sreesanth's claims and confirmed that he was indeed slapped by Bhajji without any provocation.
