Which is why it is very hard for me to digest how I reacted” said Jagadeesan through his tweet.

“Passion is always key in any sport- but controlling it and channelising it the right way is more important. And that is something I failed at doing when I let my temper get the better of me. No excuses for what has been done. I will do better and be better. With Regret, Jagadeesan” he added.
