Ross Taylor gets a slap from the Rajasthan Royals owner!!!

Published

Former New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor claims he was “slapped on the cheek” by an owner of the Rajasthan Royals franchise during the 2011 IPL season. Taylor made the revelation in his new autobiography, Ross Taylor: Black and White, and says the incident took place after the defeat against Kings XI Punjab in Mohali.

The chase in that match was 195, I was out for no runs and couldn’t win the match,” Taylor wrote in his book, an extract from which was published on Stuff.co.nz. “Then, the team, the support staff and Management left. At the bar on the top floor of the hotel. Liz Hurley was there with Warnie [Shane Warne]. A Royals owner said to me, “Rose, we didn’t pay you a million dollars to get scoreless,” and punched me in the face three or four times. He was smiling and they weren’t hard slaps, but I’m not sure it was completely an act. I wasn’t going to make an issue of it, but I couldn’t imagine such actions happening in most professional gaming environments.

The royals are yet to issue a response on the matter.

Having spent three years with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from 2008 to 2010, Taylor played one season for the Royals – in 2011 – after being bought at the auction for USD 1 million. In his book, Taylor said he wished he had stayed at RCB.

රොස් ටේලර් ට රාජස්ථාන් රෝයල්ස් හිමිකරුගෙන් කනේ පහරක්!!!

හිටපු නවසීලන්ත පිතිකරු රොස් ටේලර් 2011 IPL වාරයේ දී රාජස්ථාන් රෝයල්ස් ෆ්‍රැන්චයිස් හි හිමිකරුවෙකු විසින් තමාට “කම්මුලට පහරක් ගැසූ ” බව කියා සිටී. ටේලර් ඔහුගේ නව ස්වයං චරිතාපදානය වන රොස් ටේලර්: බ්ලැක් ඇන්ඩ් වයිට් හි මෙම හෙළිදරව්ව සිදු කළ අතර, මොහාලිහිදී කිංග්ස් XI පන්ජාබ් පිලට එරෙහිව පරාජයෙන් පසුව මෙම සිද්ධිය සිදුවූ බව පවසයි.

එම තරගයේ ලුහුබැඳීම 195 විය, මම ලකුණු නොලබා දැවී ගිය අතර එම තරගය ජයග්‍රහණය කිරීමට නොහැකි විය,” ටේලර් ඔහුගේ පොතේ ලියා ඇති අතර, එයින් උපුටා ගැනීමක් Stuff.co.nz හි ප්‍රකාශයට පත් කරන ලදී. “ඉන්පසු, කණ්ඩායම, සහාය කාර්ය මණ්ඩලය සහ කළමනාකාරීත්වය ඉවත් විය. හෝටලයේ ඉහළ මහලේ ඇති බාර් එකේ. Liz Hurley එහි සිටියේ Warnie [Shane Warne] සමගයි. රෝයල්ස් හිමිකරුවෙක් මට කිව්වා, ‘රෝස්, අපි ඔබට ලකුණු නොලබා දැවී යාම් ලබා ගැනීමට ඩොලර් මිලියනයක් දුන්නේ නැහැ’ කියා මගේ මුහුණට තුන් හතර වතාවක් පහර දුන්නා. ඔහු සිනාසෙමින් සිටි අතර ඒවා දැඩි කම්මුල් පහරක් නොවූ නමුත් එය සම්පූර්ණයෙන්ම රංගනයක් බව මට විශ්වාස නැත. මම එය ගැටලුවක් කිරීමට යන්නේ නැත, නමුත් බොහෝ වෘත්තීය ක්‍රීඩා පරිසරයන් තුළ එවැනි ක්‍රියාවන් සිදුවේයැයි මට සිතාගත නොහැකි විය.

රාජකීයයන් තවමත් මේ සම්බන්ධයෙන් ප්‍රතිචාරයක් නිකුත් කර නොමැත.

2008 සිට 2010 දක්වා Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) හි වසර තුනක් ගත කර ඇති ටේලර්, වෙන්දේසියේදී USD මිලියනයකට මිලදී ගැනීමෙන් පසුව – 2011 දී – Royals වෙනුවෙන් එක් වාරයක් ක්‍රීඩා කළේය. ඔහුගේ පොතේ, ටේලර් කියා සිටියේ ඔහු RCB හි නැවතී සිටියා නම් ඔහු කැමති බවයි.

ராஜஸ்தான் ராயல்ஸ் அணியின் உரிமையாளர் ராஸ் டெய்லரை அறைந்தார்!!!

2011 ஐபிஎல் சீசனில் ராஜஸ்தான் ராயல்ஸ் உரிமையாளரால் “கன்னத்தில் அறைந்ததாக” நியூசிலாந்து முன்னாள் பேட்ஸ்மேன் ராஸ் டெய்லர் கூறுகிறார்.
டெய்லர் தனது புதிய சுயசரிதையான ராஸ் டெய்லர்: பிளாக் அண்ட் ஒயிட் இல் வெளிப்படுத்தினார், மேலும் மொஹாலியில் கிங்ஸ் லெவன் பஞ்சாப் அணிக்கு எதிரான தோல்விக்குப் பிறகு இந்த சம்பவம் நடந்ததாக கூறுகிறார்.

அந்த போட்டியில் துரத்தியது 195, நான் ரன் ஏதும் எடுக்காமல் அவுட் ஆனேன், போட்டியில் வெற்றி பெற முடியவில்லை” என்று டெய்லர் தனது புத்தகத்தில் எழுதினார், அதில் இருந்து ஒரு பகுதி Stuff.co.nz இல் வெளியிடப்பட்டது. “பின்னர், அணி, ஆதரவு ஊழியர்கள் மற்றும் நிர்வாகத்தினர் வெளியேறினர். ஹோட்டலின் மேல் தளத்தில் உள்ள பாரில். லிஸ் ஹர்லி வார்னியுடன் [ஷேன் வார்னே] உடன் இருந்தார். ராயல்ஸ் உரிமையாளர் ஒருவர் என்னிடம், “ரோஸ், ஸ்கோர்லெஸ் பெற நாங்கள் உங்களுக்கு ஒரு மில்லியன் டாலர்கள் கொடுக்கவில்லை,” என்று கூறி என் முகத்தில் மூன்று அல்லது நான்கு முறை குத்தினார். நான் சிரித்துக் கொண்டுருந்தேன், அவை கடினமான அறைகள் அல்ல, ஆனால் அது முற்றிலும் ஒரு செயல் என்று எனக்குத் தெரியவில்லை. நான் அதை ஒரு சிக்கலை ஏட்படுத்தப் போவதில்லை, ஆனால் பெரும்பாலான தொழில்முறை கேமிங் சூழல்களில் இதுபோன்ற செயல்கள் நடப்பதை என்னால் கற்பனை செய்து பார்க்க முடியவில்லை.

இந்த விவகாரம் குறித்து ராயல் சேலஞ்சர்ஸ் குடும்பத்தினர் இன்னும் பதில் அளிக்கவில்லை.

2008 முதல் 2010 வரை ராயல் சேலஞ்சர்ஸ் பெங்களூர் (RCB) உடன் மூன்று ஆண்டுகள் செலவழித்த டெய்லர், 2011 இல் ராயல்ஸ் அணிக்காக ஒரு சீசனில் விளையாடினார். டெய்லர் தனது புத்தகத்தில், தான் ஆர்சிபியில் தங்கியிருந்தால் விரும்புவதாகக் கூறினார்.

Sri Lanka Cricket could be on the verge of a major leadership shake-up, with reports suggesting that President Shammi Silva is expected to resign from his post on Wednesday, potentially ending a seven-year tenure at the helm of the governing body.

According to a report published by Daily Mirror, Silva’s anticipated resignation follows a request from the government, signaling possible political involvement in the administration of the sport.

The report further indicates that former Member of Parliament and State Minister Eran Wickramaratne is likely to be appointed as the Interim President of Sri Lanka Cricket, should Silva step down as expected.

Silva, who was first elected to the position in February 2019, has maintained his leadership through multiple election victories, overseeing Sri Lanka Cricket during a period marked by both challenges and transitions.

While no official confirmation has yet been issued, the reported developments have already sparked widespread discussion within cricketing and political circles, raising questions about the future direction of the country’s cricket administration.
