As was rightly speculated a day before, Shane Warne would not hold back from saying what he wants heard, even if it lands him with more than a $50,000 fine as he continues to keep the Rajasthan Royals on their toes in the IPL 4 season.

Suddenly the trouble with the BCCI must seemed distant fro the Rajasthan Royals franchisee. After all, Shane Warne seems to be making sure he is laying the turf for a full on battle with the Rajasthan Cricket Association over the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, the IPL home for the Rajasthan Royals.
A day after it was revealed that the Rajasthan Royals captain was fined $50,000 after the IPL disciplinary committee found him guilty of abusing an official in public, Shane Warne has taken to interview on a news channel where he is claiming that he had done nothing wrong.
Warne, who is playing his final cricket tournament before retiring from all forms of playing, courted trouble once more, but did not seem too concerned by the fact, when he reiterated his feelings about the situation, which he labelled as 'silly, and immature' while as stating that he was being punished for opening his mouth to speak the truth.
Warne has been critical, taking Sanjay Dixit head on following the Rajasthan Royals match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 4, and ever since threatening to expose the workings at the Rajasthan Cricket Association.
As expected the fine has had little effect even though the BCCI would have perhaps have wanted players to realize that speaking out of line and out of turn, particularly in public, would not do them much good. But for Warne, courting controversies is not new and it appears even a hefty fine will not hold him back., possibly bolstered by the fact that there is little the BCCI or the IPL disciplinary committee can do anything to him given that he will be leaving at the end of the season, even if he returns in some capacity for the Rajasthan Royals.
