“You people aren’t even human” - Sreesanth’s wife lashes out at Lalit Modi & Michael Clarke for revealing slapgate footage from IPL 2008

The former Indian seamer Sreesanth’s wife Bhuvneshwari lashed out at the IPL founder Lalit Modi and former Australian captain Michael Clarke for revealing the unseen video footage of the controversial slapgate incident involving Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth, on Friday, August 29.

Delving into the details, Modi marked his presence on Michael Clarke’s podcast named Beyond23 Podcast. During the middle of the interview, Modi went on to disclose the details of the slapgate incident, including the unveiling of the video footage for the first time ever.

“I’ll tell you what happened. I will give you the video. I have kept it back. Bhajji is a very dear friend of mine. I love him. It happened on the field and I was there. It was Bhajji and it was Sreesanth," Modi told Clarke while speaking on the Beyond23 podcast. 

“The game was over, and the cameras were shut off. Only one of my security cameras was on. As the team finished playing, the players were high-fiving and shaking hands with each other," Modi added. 

As seen in the video, it was clearly evident that Harbhajan gave a back-handed slap to Sreesanth during the post-match handshakes between cricketers from both teams. It’s important to note that both cricketers have moved on from the incident a long time ago.

Now, Bhuvneshwari took to her Instagram handle to slam Modi and Clarke for releasing the 2008 IPL slap-gate clip, terming it “disgusting, heartless, and inhuman.

“Shame on you, @lalitkmodi and @michaelclarkeofficial. You people aren’t even human to drag up something from 2008 just for your own cheap publicity and views. Both @sreesanthnair36 and Harbhajan have long moved on; they are fathers now with school-going children and yet you try to throw them back into an old wound. Absolutely disgusting, heartless, and inhuman," Bhuvneshwari wrote on her Instagram story. 

“@sreesanthnair36 has rebuilt his life with dignity and grace after every hardship he faced. As his wife and as the mother of his children, it is deeply painful for our family to see this resurface after 18 long years," Bhuvneshwari wrote.
