'Hit wicket' on Twitter

Cricketer-turned-politician S Sreesanth, best remembered for swinging batsmen out in his peak, committed a "hit wicket" on Twitter on Monday by referring to Kerala as a city. The Bharatiya Janata Party's candidate from Thiruvananthapuram in the state's Assembly elections tweeted: "The change is must in Kerala. And I am sure it will happen this time. We can be world's best city if we all work together." Not surprisingly, he was trolled and served a geography lesson on Twitter, followed by advice from Congress member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor to do his homework. Only time will tell if it leads to potential voters "swinging" away from him.

Sreesanth joins BJP, to fight Kerala elections

The BJP today fielded former India pacer S Sreesanth from the Thiruvananthapuram seat even as it declared 50 other candidates for the upcoming Assembly polls in Kerala. After a nearly four-hour-long meeting, the Central Election Committee (CEC) of BJP announced that Sreesanth has formally joined the party and would contest from Thiruvananthapuram. Talking to reporters at a media briefing, 33-year-old Sreesanth said his name has been cleared by the court in a match-fixing case and he is, therefore, not worried about any Opposition attack on him regarding the controversy. Though a trial court in Delhi had dropped charges against him last year, he still faces a ban on playing any form of cricket by the BCCI. BJP has already announced 22 candidates from Kerala in its first list. BJP also announced the first list of 54 candidates for the Tamil Nadu polls and said a second list would be issued after talks with IJK and NJP fructify in the coming days.
