Sreesanth, while playing for Rajasthan Royals was banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in August 2013 for indulging in alleged spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan were also banned. However, last year, his lifetime ban was reduced to seven years. He became eligible to play BCCI-affiliated cricket in September last year.
Puducherry 138/6 in 20 overs (Ashith 33, Dogra 26, Saxena 3/13) lost to Kerala 139/4 in 18.2 overs (Samson 32, Azharuddeen 30, Ashith 3/18)
