For the first time since his blogs created a huge stir in the world of Indian Premier League, the controversial 'fake IPL player' revealed himself on Times Now on Saturday.
Anupam Mukherji, the fake IPL player, who revealed himself on Times Now says that the blog was 'a figment of imagination' and was an inspiration from a fake blog on Steve Jobs.
Speaking to Times Now, Anupam added that cricket was always his passion and that he never imagined that his idea would create such a huge media speculation.
He added, "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 whom 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."
Anupam Mukherji is the face that fooled a millions with his predictions and insider stories. He was the mind that tricked the readers to believe everything he wrote about the Indian Premier League in its second edition, which was held in South Africa. Considered as one of the biggest hoax in Indian cricket, Anupam confessed to 'being the fake IPL player'.
He added, "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. The entire hoax of the fake IPL player is now definitely in my past."
