Breaking News! Thanks to the "bad boy" of Australian cricket, Andrew Symonds, sledging entered the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rajasthan Royals batsman Yusuf Pathan has accused Decccan Chargers player Andrew Symonds of sledging during an IPL match.
After 
receiving the "Man of the Match" award for his explosive knock of unbeaten 73 off 34 balls, Yusuf Pathan said Andrew Symonds did the sledging when he came to bat. "It inspired me to perform batter and I hit their bowlers hard", said Pathan.

"It inspired me to perform batter and I hit their bowlers hard", said Pathan.The match was held between Rajasthan Royals and Deccan Chargers in Ahmedabad last night. Rajasthan Royals successfully chased the victory target of 149 with 4.2 overs to spare. Yusuf Pathan set the stadium on fire during his unbeaten knock of 73. He hit 2 boundaries and 8 big sixes.
It is not immediately known whether an official complaint has been lodged with the IPL authorities or not. There is no official communication from either Rajasthan Royals or the Deccan Chargers.
This is not the first time Andrew Symonds finds himself in a sledging row. The incident involving Symonds and Harbhajan Singh in Australia is still fresh in our memory. Moreover, Symonds was thrown out of the Australian team for his "irresponsible" behaviour and negative attitude.
