Praveen Kumar quarrelled with Indian cricket fans after the practice match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Northamptonshire-c824 – Cricket News Update
After experiencing the misery of the key players being injured during India’s tour to England, another serious issue came before the visiting team. Yesterday, on August 6, 2011 Indian bowler Praveen Kumar entered into an argument with the fans surrounding
the cricketers’ bus after the practice match against the Northamptonshire.
It was reported by a website that Indian fans surrounded the buss of the visiting team at the time of their departure from the County ground after the practice match finished.
The fans were supporting the Indian team and were having chit chat with their heroes. Things were going fine, the way they had been streaming throughout the day, but suddenly things turned towards the rough side.
The website reported, “Praveen was seen charging out of the team bus with a cricket bat in his hand.”
Some of the witnesses revealed that a group of fans were teasing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/P-Kumar-c2143 and he got aggravated. He in response tried to attack those people with his bat but the cool and calm Suresh Raina intervened and stopped Praveen from doing so.
Things did not settle at this point, rather worsened as the team stood there for long. Munaf http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huzefa-Mohammed-Patel-c63657, an Indian pacer, also reacted to the situation and went up to the stewards to take action against those people.
It was reported that, “http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MM-Patel-c1987 "left his seat on the bus to complain to stewards that fans were being disrespectful to him and some teammates. Munaf was seen speaking to the stewards and pointing towards fans and asking stewards to intervene in the issue.”
Situation seemed to be escalating as Praveen once against jumped out of the team bus and charged at the particular group of fans. This time, the stewards had to intervene and restrain Praveen.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SK-Raina-c2539 once again came out of the bus and tried to calm down Praveen, taking him back into the bus and leaving the matter to the stewards.
One individual in the group responsible for teasing Praveen particularly was dragged out of the ground by the stewards.
Some of the people standing there said that it was that boy’s fault, as he was drunk and abused Praveen, provoking him to react. A number of others said that Praveen should have kept his temper and let the stewards take care of the situation, as he is the
representative of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and such things hamper the image in the outside world.
