As the D day looms large, preparations are picking up pace like never before. Work is going on across all fronts. In the meanwhile, the official broadcaster for the final test - Sahara Sports schedules a press conference with the West Indies team.
Till now, there was quite a muted reference to the visiting team. The team just came in quietly and started off with their practice sessions.
At the press conference, the luminaries of Indian journalism were present to note and grill the West Indies team on what were their plans for the grandest cricketing event of the century.
Arnab Goswami, not waiting for any formal start of the session, jumps the gun and the queue!!!! He forgets that he is not in his studio!!!
"This is the question for the West Indies team!!! Headlines Today has exclusive news that there was some monetary transaction involved to bring the team to play in this series. The NATION demands an answer whether there is any truth in this allegation!!!"
The West Indies team captain Darren Sammy is taken aback. He was expecting standard questions and he had prepared standard answers. He is not very happy.
Now matters are getting out of reach as Arnab continues with his allegations about Rajiv Shukla's travel to West Indies. Now, in a fit of unpreparedness, Sammy does a Whammy!!!!
Without thinking for a moment, he blurts out,"All these rumours about our team being bought by BCCI is utter crap. On the contrary, the West Indies Government has paid a high ranking Indian politician a huge amount of money to be the team that would be playing against India for Sachin's last outing".
That is it!!! Hell breaks loose. This is something that can derail the entire juggernaut!!!
Modi loses no time to hit out at the UPA Government. He announces theconstruction of the grandest stadium in the world to host the last match for the Pathan brothers!!!
There is uproar in the parliament. The BJP demands the resignation of the Sports Minister on grounds of moral impropriety. The Congressrejects all allegations stating that a high level CBI probe would unearth the truth. Rahul Gandhi makes a statement in the Parliament," The West Indies Cricket team has been heavily influenced by the Dutch East Indies Company and they are trying to divide us so that they can rule us once again".
As matters get out of hand within no time, Kejriwal files a PIL against BCCI and brings an injunction on the match. The Delhi High Court puts a restraint on the match till further details are furnished and the allegations of team buyout are cleared.
Meanwhile, the international media is agog with anticipation on the next step. All plans are in place and calendars booked. Anything of this sort is going to be a catastrophe. As background negotiations gain momentum, advertisers are in a state of panic. Travel industry is in a turmoil. Hospitality industry is literally on the roads. Food and Beverages industry is about to starve.
At this precise moment, BCCI manages to garner support for the creation of a Board of Reproach of Individuals for Better Engagement (BRIBE).
What will BRIBE do now?
Will the $ 200 Bn dream go down the drain?
Will Sachin get his grand finale?
Coming up next - SACHINnings 200!!! Match 22 Situation!!!!
