‘I get a bad name because all Indian players drink’

In the past, he was a well-known member of the Indian cricket team. Nevertheless, he could not sustain his position for a prolonged period due to injuries and extracurricular engagements. Praveen Kumar, an Indian cricketer known for his moderate bowling speed, has once again caused controversy with a recent remark. During the interview, he claimed that all Indian cricket players partake in alcohol consumption. Conversely, no one acknowledges it.

Praveen Kumar made his debut in 2007. As a result, he has solidified his position as a regular representative for the Blue Jays. Due to his exceptional performance, he was granted the opportunity to compete in the One-Day International World Cup in 2011. Nevertheless, he could not participate in the tournament due to an injury.

In subsequent years, he abstained from engaging with the national team due to various controversial incidents.

He is widely perceived as a habitual drinker. This is the underlying cause of the inconvenience they provide. Nevertheless, Praveen refuted every one of the accusations. In his perspective, all of this is an endeavour to tarnish his name.

“During my time in the Indian squad, the more experienced players would advise, ‘Abstain from consuming alcohol and refrain from engaging in certain activities,'” stated the ex-fast bowler in a recent interview. “I received advice to refrain from engaging in any of these activities.” I consistently achieved repetition of the same thing. Nevertheless, each bears responsibility for all matters. I acquired a negative reputation. According to mythology, PK (Praveen Kumar) consumes alcoholic beverages. Undoubtedly, every individual partakes in the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Praveen Kumar questioned whether prominent cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, and Sourav Ganguly had ever offered him guidance. The senior, who answered cautiously, stated, “I prefer not to disclose any names.” There is an individual whose name I will publicly declare in front of the camera. However, it is widely acknowledged that an individual consistently undermined Praveen Kumar’s reputation, causing him to appear inferior.
