The game between the Kings XI Punjab and the Chennai Super Kings may have been of royal measure but some unsavoury incidents did not pass the muster.

Sreesanth has not played the first half of the IPL 2 season through injury in South Africa. His IPL inauguration last year saw the unpleasant slapgate incident where Harbhajan Singh, as captain of the Mumbai Indians, slapped Sreesanth for repeatedly provoking the opposition.
Now once again Sreesanth is hardly two matches old into the IPL 2 and he is causing enough trouble for himself. Sreesanth for hit for three sixes by Matthew Hayden in the seventeenth over and his skipper Yuvraj Singh's reprimand did not go down too well with the fast bowler who had his own verbal duel with the captain later in the dug out.

Furthermore, Sreesanth responded in verbal rage when he dismissed Hayden. Hayden later told press persons, "“You don’t want to know. It’s just so meaningless. Mate... I am a Test veteran and a one-day International veteran, I have got nothing to answer to him that’s for certain."
Haydos later gave the media men a field day by stating that Sreesanth was an "overrated bowler" and "so he was a great target for us to go at. He always loses his cool under pressure and I think it was a good example of that (in the match)."
Ouch! It's time for Sreesanth to wake up and smell the roses.
