Success at last for Sreesanth

Success does not come so easily to anyone. For cricketers it is all the more enduring because of the numerous talented youngsters out on the field. For Sreesanth it was his hard work that has paid off. He started off his career by sledging Sachin Tendulkar during a challenger trophy match which gave him the initial ladder to success. This was followed by the comical act against Andre Nel after hitting him for a six. All the criticisms by then had taken him to a level which he always dreamt of. What better way than to show faces at Andrew Symmonds and Matthew Hayden to take him to the top league? He was a few steps away from success when his performances back stabbed him. A couple of decent performances in South Africa stood as a hindrance. He pinned his big hope on Harbhajan Singh during IPL and the sardar obliged. Success was knocking on the door by then. The icing on the cake were his injuries, non performances and a big disliking by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. To spice things up he opened the slapgate issue again during IPL 2013. But was he content? No, he needed that big success and the only way he could achieve it was by fixing matches (Wish that towel had entered his pockets much early in his career). Now he stands so successful at what he was trying to achieve all these years-  To be thrown out of Cricket! 
Congratulations Sreesanth...!!
