Prime Suspect!

Well.. what makes one commit crime? As crimonology states:
  • A strong motive which makes one outweigh any cons
  • Ability to execute the intentions
  • An opportunity to allow the intentions to be carried out.

Out of all the names making rounds as suspects, Ranadeb Bose seems to be the hot favorite.
The foremost reason being the interpretation of Fake IPL Player's own blog, where he writes about himself:

"Well, i am the perennial no hoper. In fact, the only time i had hope was when i played for my school. They thought i might make it to the test side one day. Well, made it to the ranjis, but never beyond. And this time round, am part of the ipl. Actually, i am not too sure why i am here. The team's full of super stars and all i do it bowl a bit, bat a bit, and field like a maniac. But, there's one thing i do very well. Serve drinks. And that's what i am expecting do in south africa. As i said, i am a no hoper. And have no hopes of getting a match in ipl."


The Blogger identifies himself as a Ranji Player, who coudn't make it bigger than that. A all rounder, but not a prolific one. In the team his position is mostly that of a 12th Man, who carries Drinks.

The Motive, ability and opportunity theory with some flexibilities, suits too well on Randev:

  1. Ranadeb was hardly in the playing 11 in IPL Season - 1, and dropped soon after that. This time he left KKR and joined Kings XI. So his grudge against the KKR team is high placed. Particularly, the number of characters in his Posts from Kings XI Punjab is only next to that of KKRs. e.g. Appam Chutiya, Prince of Patiala, and Bubliee.
  2. When the Fake IPL Player, uses sarcastic names for almost all the characters, he only uses initials for Ranadeb Bose (RDB).
  3. He holds the world record of bowling 10708 balls in first-class and club games without over-stepping. Although at one point of time in his career, Ranadeb had raised a lot of hope, he couldn't eventually deliver and go bigger than the Ranji Squad.
  4. Ranadeb has done his schooling from St. Lawrence High School Kolkata and completed his Graduation in Commerce from St. Xaviers College, Kolkata. The blogger, Fake IPL Player, no doubt has a good command over english.

This co-relation however seems bit too obvious! As a layman like me could also draw links to Fake IPL Player and Ranadeb. But question remains as to why Ranadeb would risk his career, by continuing to write the Blogs even when there is so much 'hulla gulla' in the media. He cannot be so lame!

So is it someone, who would enjoy, if Ranadeb Bose gets framed? Or is it an unintended link up by junta, which the real Fake IPL Player had perhaps never thought of?

Will time ever answer these questions, or shall this get into the IPL History books as the greatest unsolved mystery.
