  "account": "Former India pacer Sreesanth jokingly suggested during a recent exhibition cricket game in Kerala that former IPL star Chris Gayle would support him in a proposed boxing match against Harbhajan Singh. The incident occurred when Sreesanth borrowed the off-spinner Harbhajan's bowling action to bowl to Gayle during the exhibition event at the Kerala Cricket League (KCL). Gayle, known for his powerful hitting, managed to hit a six on each of Sreesanth's imitations. Sreesanth later revealed Gayle had asked him about the potential boxing bout, to which the West Indies player indicated he would be on his right side. While Sreesanth has not confirmed the match, it was initiated by Harbhajan after he mocked Sreesanth in a recent advertisement. Despite the colorful narrative involving renowned cricket figures, the likelihood of the boxing match materializing appears slim, as the feud seems more focused on garnering attention rather than seeking a resolution.",
  "summary": "Chris Gayle seems to have chosen to be in Sreesanth's corner if a boxing match were to actually happen between the ex-pacer and his former Indian teammate Harbhajan Singh.",
