For the latest developments in the Fake IPL Player Saga click here.

Earlier today I saw that Aakash Chopra and Sanjay Bangar had been sent hom from the IPL, more importantly, the Kolkata Knight Riders.

At the time my fake IPLdar was beeping, but then i thought i was being too suspicious.

Then Well Pitched put an article up saying they were thinking along the same lines.

One website has already outed these two as the players behind the fake.

After i read that I went and checked out the two players in this tournament.

Aakash Chopra played in the first two games.

Game 1: 19 April, 11 off 19.

Game 2: 21 April, DNB.

He was replaced in the next game by Bangar.

Game 3: 23 April 2 off 9.

On the 23rd is when the rumours that the fake IPL player being caught first came out.

But think about this, Kolkata have played 3 games of cricket, these gusy haven’t missed a game, and now they are being sent home with this explanation.

“These [Chopra and Bangar] are two very good senior international players so John Buchanan and the team management thought that if they are not going to have the opportunity [to play] it is unfair to keep them around,”

No oppurtunity?

3 days ago Bangar was playing.

5 days ago Chopra was.

Bangar is an all rounder very much in teh same vein that ol’ fakey describes himself.

I don’t believe either of these guys are the fake IPL player, but Kolkata letting two players go right now does ring a few alarms.

Also the fact that both players are over 30 and have less to lose means they have to be considered, but they are more likely to be the inside moles than the actual fakester themselves.

Plus the fact I know who the Fake IPL Player is, and it isn’t them.

I will name the ‘player’ tomorrow.
