Former Indian fast bowler Praveen Kumar recently made startling revelations in a media interview, asserting that during his playing days, ball-tampering was a common practice among bowlers. He specifically pointed out that Pakistani bowlers engaged in it more than others to enhance reverse swing. Praveen, who played for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the first season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), also claimed that Lalit Modi, the former IPL chairman, threatened to bring an end to his cricketing career. These revelations provide insight into the controversial practices and challenges faced by players during that period in the cricketing world.
