The female cricket players have accused Jaisimha of acting inappropriately, bringing up incidents of misbehaving and drinking while the squad was around. A video purportedly capturing Jaisimha drinking on the team bus has been presented as evidence.
Taking into consideration the seriousness of the charges, the HCA has opened an inquiry and decided to suspend the coach until the investigation is over. To further complicate matters, there has been increased scrutiny after an anonymous email with recordings purporting to show Jaisimha’s wrongdoings appeared.
In response, the HCA’s president has taken decisive action by suspending Jaisimha and instructing him to refrain from participating in any cricket-related activities on behalf of the association until the investigation is finalized.
Due to all this, Vidyut Jaisimha has become the talk of the town, with many people trying to find out more about him. So, here’s what we know about him:
Who is Vidyut Jaisimha?
Vidyut Jaisimha is a former player and current coach of the Hyderabad senior women’s cricket team. He has been in the news because he is accused of acting inappropriately with the squad while drinking.
He was born and brought up in Andhra Pradesh, India. He completed his schooling at Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet, Hyderabad. Later, he attended All Saints and Wesley College and eventually got his bachelor’s degree.
After starting as a player, Vidyut Jaisimha is currently the managing partner of Jaisimha Cricket Academy, India’s first indoor cricket academy. Apart from this, he was the coach of the Hyderabad senior women’s cricket team. However, he was recently suspended from his post.
In an email to the association following his suspension, Vidyut asserts that the accusations made against him are an effort to discredit him. He claims that he was suspended because he refused to let the daughter of a former Hyderabad player play for the senior women’s cricket team.
Additionally, Vidyut talks about an instance in which the cricketer reportedly threatened him at home for not complying with the demand. He thinks there’s a bigger plot going on, with people who have held positions in the organization in the past trying to subtly reverse the progress that has been made.
