New Delhi: Anyone can make mistakes. But former Chennai Senior Kings player Pawan Negi, who has played a game for the Indian team, made a mistake that turned out to be costly.
At the request of the University of Delhi, Negi submitted a certificate stating that he played for Vijay Hazare Trophy, instead of presenting a document proving that he has played for India.
According to Hindustan Times, ten athletes, who have represented India internationally, have been admitted to the University of Delhi, through the sports fee. The University of Delhi has a five percent allowance for the fee mentioned.
Pawan Negi, who was bought by Delhi Daredevils for a whopping Rps. 8.5 crores in the Premier League of India in 2016, played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2017. He will now have to pass tests at the University of Delhi to be eligible.
Anil Kumar, director of the DU Sports Council, spoke on the subject.
“He (Negi) raised a certificate that says he participated in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which is a national level tournament, we are bound by guidelines and particular about the requirements of the document, so he will have to participate in the trials,” he said.
“These are the highest tournaments for sports as recognized by the government of India.” We are trying to honor their performance and their achievements, their participation in these tournaments is not only an honor for them, but also for others. He added.
Other athletes such as swimmer Shivani Kataria, assassins Asees Chhina, Diwakar Yadav, Fateh Singh Dhillon and Simran Preet Kaur are a few, who have been given admission to the University of Delhi.
