A committee of administrators (CoA) that is running Indian cricket had asked the Supreme Court to appoint an ombudsman to investigate the case and determine if the pair had brought the game into disrepute. In his order, BCCI ombudsman Justice DK Jain said he took into account the CoA’s view that due to the five matches the players missed due to the provisional ban, they lost out on earnings of about 3 million rupees. “I have no hesitation in observing that being an active participant in the show, in which certain unpalatable remarks/comments were made, even by his own admissions, he also offended sensitivities, which ought to have been avoided,” Jain said in his order posted on the BCCI website.
“Hence he must make amends.” The talk-show went viral, prompting outrage on social media with some users demanding a life ban, while others called for the cricketers’ lucrative contracts for the Indian Premier League (IPL) to be torn up. Jain said both players had apologised for the incident without seeking to justify their action and directed the BCCI to deduct the fine from their match fees if the cricketers fail to pay the 2 million rupees within four weeks.
