Sreesanth's on-board miff irks fellow flyers!!

Sreesanth unlike to his name is never at shanth (calm/peaceful). His aggressive nature on field was visible at many times. However the Indian bowler is the lucky mascot for the captain Cool M S Dhoni. He figures in most ODI finals. The player known for his short temper irked his fellow passengers while on board a flight. The tantrums of the player even delayed the Bangalore-Delhi flight say some sources.  The ace pacer had a childish argument with the flight attendent which was resented by his co-passengers too. The argument started when he insited sitting near the emergency door objected by the attendant.

However the pacer refuted of such an incident and said to media that, "I am denying any abuse. I have never used any abusive language. I don't think I have used any abusive language in a flight. Secondly, I play for Indian team and I know the rules and how to behave publicly and personally. I try to set the standards."

But another passenger of the same flight S2 4234 from Bangalore to Delhi, T R Ravichandran  voiced his opinion differently to media. "Sreesanth was alloted seat 29A which incidentally was close to the emergency exit. And as he was sporting an injury, flight attendants requested him to move, albeit temporarily, till take off to ensure that no one is inconvenienced in case of any emergency. Instead of letting the attendants do their job, he got into a childish argument thereby delaying the take off by 15 minutes," Ravichandran was quoted.

"Inspite of four people requesting, he kept insisting he would not move and that he was not injured, he is a sportsman etc. As a fellow passenger, I objected to his boorish behaviour," he added.

However the pacer replies, "On a full economy flight, I asked for that seat so that I could stretch my leg and sit. The moment I came in, they said you can't sit here. That was the conversation I had. i said this is 29A and I deserve to sit here. My friend also said the same thing. That was the only conversation I had.

"The person said that I was not fit. I said I have not asked for a wheelchair. I was about to miss the flight and I ran into the flight," he added.

The morale of the story is if you are a celebrity and with a wrong temperment everyone will utilise your name to hitchhike for publicity. And the counter morale never throw your tantrums in, public. (With inputs from internet-AarKay)
