Sreesanth's elder brother Dipu admits he was stunned by his kid bro's reaction after hitting that six.
"I was shocked when he did that dance after hitting the six. But I like that attitude. Nel was doing all sorts of things before that, but after the six he suddenly turned so calm. It was so nice to see that," says Dipu, who played for Kerala in the Ranji Trophy.
Sreesanth's father Shanthakumaran Nair feels the incident happened spontaneously and it was not something planned or done deliberately.
But the family is clueless about how their 'Sree' gets charged up on the field.
"Frankly speaking, even I don't know where he gets his aggression from. Our family is calm and nobody gets so excited," says Dipu.
"He is so cool and calm at home, but on the field he is very aggressive. I support it. I think a fast bowler needs to be aggressive. Also, because he always wants to win, he is always very determined to do well no matter what," says his mother.
