However, a close friend of Kapil, who had accompanied him to the match, justified his decision citing creative and logistical issues. She reasoned, We reached at 1 pm as we had got stuck in traffic. After we reached, no provisions were made. Kapil sat on the floor for an hour and a half. There were no chairs, no water. His back started to hurt. Besides, he needs space to rehearse. A room was offered to us when we almost left. We didnt leave because of the vanity van. The organisers wanted him to sit in the commentary box. But Kapil is not a cricket expert. We had our script ready, but no one from the CCL creative team spoke to us! Speaking about the remuneration, Kapils friend says, In the contract, Kapil has been signed for four matches and paid `13 lakh in advance for one. We also texted Vishnu sir (founder, managing director, CCL) about the confusion. We have no hard feelings and are hoping to go for the Dubai match. We texted and called Kapil, but his phone was unreachable.
