Masked truth sneaking out. First wicket fallen. One cannot always make others run out for their wrong deeds. Keep watching, more wickets will fall to account for every inappropriate action during last four years. Self respect & honesty not to compromise for survival @ICRISAT

Second wicket out. Even if late, truth sneaked out itself to everybody. Integrity to institution compromised many times was suppose to yield this result. One cannot blame others every time and run away. Justice to be delivered to everybody, may be one by one. @ICRISAT
