There used to be a time when spectators used to display billboards, “Jadeja Bus Jadeja”. The smiling face, in any kind of tense situation, joking with fellow cricketers disappeared from the scene with the discovery of truth!! (perhaps, I am not very sure about whatever is being said on this issue). This guy from Haryana, appeared to be on a sound wicket and well on the path shown by his Paaji the legendary Kapil Dev. He has played some very-very memorable innings like the one against Aussies (on their India tour) and the one in Bangalore, against Pakistan (during world cup). In fact it was the Indian authorities (the Delhi Police) which pulled the plug from the match fixing story, one of the darkest chapters in Cricket. I feel, for this very reason BCCI had to take a rigid stance and penalize some of its players. I sincerely pray that the matter be decided as soon as possible i.e. within the cricketing lifecycle of this man.
