few politicians and feminists for bringing in foreign <a href="/facts/Cheerleaders/lg6WJpdj">cheerleaders</a>, which was seen by many to not be in the traditional spirit of the game, as well as being against some Indian sensibilities.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a> Two cheerleaders from London were asked to leave the ground at Mohali "because of the colour of their skin" by Wizcraft International Entertainment, which handled the team Kings XI Punjab.

The incident came to light as Sreesanth was caught by TV cameras sobbing inconsolably on the field before the presentation ceremony. Sreesanth had since downplayed the incident saying he had no complaints against Singh who was "like an elder brother" to him. Singh's team had lost their third consecutive match, and he apparently reacted violently to Sreesanth's approaching him and reportedly saying "hard luck". The footage of the slap has not yet been released for public viewing. The BCCI launched an investigation into the incident and decided to ban Singh for the remaining 11 matches of his season.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:19" href="#fn:19"><sup>19</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:20" href="#fn:20"><sup>20</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21"><sup>21</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://iplt20.com/">Official website</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ipl/content/current/series/313494.html">ESPNcricinfo – Indian Premier League</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"Indian Premier League 2008". cricketwa.
