Ex-RCB star accuses Lalit Modi of threatening him
Speaking to Lallantop, the former Indian pacer revealed that he was initially reluctant to join RCB, as he preferred to join the Delhi Daredevils. However, he ended up signing a contract with the former. When he approached Lalit Modi to complain about the same, he was allegedly threatened by the latter.
“I did not want to play for RCB because Bangalore was quite far away from my place, I didn’t know English, and the food was not to my liking. Delhi is quite close to Meerut, which would have allowed me to travel to my home once in a while. However, there was a person who made me sign a paper. I did not know it was the contract. I told them I wanted to play for Delhi and not Bangalore. Lalit Modi called me and threatened to end my career,” Praveen said in the interview.
