Fake Indian Premiere League’s Player, whose blogs hit the headlines during the IPL’s second season in 2009 has come out in open and exposed himself to a news channel. Anupam Mukherji, on Saturday, August 28, 2010 through ‘Times Now’ has defended himself.

He said, “The entire speculation was created by the media. The stories that I wrote, the nicknames I provided etc were all based on my imagination and research on the Kolkata Knight Riders. Everyone was made to believe that it was an insider. In fact, I had conducted a poll as well in the middle where I asked the readers who they thought the fake IPL player was and maximum votes were given to the option of none of the above.

This certainly showed that everyone had their own idea of the fake IPL player,” he said.
“I don’t think something like this will happen in the near future. I also don’t see myself getting into trouble for the fake IPL blog. It was just a blog, where we post our personal thoughts.”

Mukerji’s hoax blogs looked as if he was someone from the team or someone closely associated with the team.
