In India, cricket is one of the most revered and passionately followed sports.

As Sreesanth gets reprieve from SC, here&#;s what happened in IPL spot-fixing scandal
On the field: codes to place bets

Delhi Police alleged there were signals in gestures and acts on the field by players that would alert the bookies to place bets as agreed. On May 9, during a match between the Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals played in Mohali, pacer S Sreesanth ran up to bowl an over with a towel tucked into the band of his trousers.
The police said this was a signal to bookies that he would now fix an over. He had bowled the previous over without the towel.
The deal, the Delhi Police alleged, was that Sreesanth would tuck the towel to indicate spot-fixing and give the bookies time to place as many bets as possible. On the field, Sreesanth gave away more than 14 runs, something he had reportedly decided with bookies.
In a separate match, on May 5, when Royals played the now-defunct Pune Warriors in Jaipur, the police alleged that Chandila was paid an advance of Rs 20 lakh by bookies to fix an over. In an alleged phone conversation between the player and a bookie, a voice said to be Chandila&#;s is heard saying that he would untuck hi
Sreesanth: the story of a fall
A motorbike revs up and takes off at high speed down a long and lonely street. When it finally slows down, merging into a group of other bikers, you see the hero. He has long hair, his guns are out. These are his friends; he is clearly their leader - his very presence fades them into the background. A stunning woman exits a car. She is so striking you can't keep your eyes off her. The hero is drawn in. He tries to get her attention. She's unimpressed and walks away. The hero acts out, but his friends ultimately calm him down. Soon the girl comes back, and this time, away from his friends, he is softer and they start to bond. And then, right at the end, she and he share a look that makes you think, maybe, just maybe, there will be a happily ever after.
The hero is a character that Sreesanth is playing. Of course, this is all fake, fantasy. There is no hero, just an actor in a film. As the taxi driver from Kochi airport told me when I went to meet Sreesanth in March of , "Sreesanth's not good at acting", but he's "very good at singing and dancing".
A few months before that trip I knew basically nothing about Sreesanth other than that he had a
