More spin to the tale in fake IPL player blog

The biggest question of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) is not who will win the trophy, but who will snare the fake IPL player playing hide and seek as the South African safari trundles on.

Now, after Ranadeb Bose and Murali Kartik, it is the turn ofu00a0 Cricketnext.com founder and columnist, Sanjay Jha to be mentioned in the comments section of the blog as one of the 'suspects'.

The fake IPL player that has been shadowing the ongoing Indian Premier League is an anonymous blogger who has been going hammer and tongs at Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), with names such as Di**o for SRK and Bhookha Naan for John Buchanan. Sreesanth is also a target of this poison pen as he is called Appam Ch***ya. The fake IPL player blog can be accessed at http//:fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com

One of the comments following the latest blog on the website titled 'Port Elizabeth' say that Sanjay Jha is the fake IPL player. They cite similarities between his weekly column on www.CricketNext.com and the fake IPL player posts.

'Not me'
Jha laughs and says, "Though I had heard of the site, I had never been to it." After reading the blogs, Jha says, "In my columns on www.CricketNext.com we are forthright, transparent, and sometimes brutally honest.

As a media site we never shirk from calling a spade a spade, and a shovel a shovel. But I do so officially in an official space. This is not me but a person who is petty-minded enough to play vicarious games commenting on others.u00a0 It is too preposterous, outrageous, unethical and contemptible for me to even comment
on it."
