Among his many possessions seized by Mumbai police on Friday is a diary in which he had repeatedly written that he would control his anger, not fight with others and stay "cool".
The Mumbai crime branch raided a five-star hotel room on Friday night in which Sreesanth had been staying and seized a number of the cricketer's personal items, including three diaries, a laptop, an iPad and a mobile phone.
In one diary, Sreesanth had written across several pages statements like, "I should not be aggressive," "I will never get into arguments," "I will never take up a fight" and "I will always keep my cool," according to one police source.
"These lines have been repeatedly written across several pages of the diary in various ways," said the police source. "It appears that the author of these lines is a short-tempered man who may have written them to remind himself every morning that he should not get angry, but keep cool."
Sreesanth has been known as short-tempered and in the past has been in fights with teammates, like Harbhajan Singh, and opposition players like Andrew Symonds and Mathew Hayden.
Reportedly, he had a fight with a neighbour in Bangalore and, in 2008, he lost his temper at the Bangalore airport, which resulted in a flight delay.
Teammates have called him aggressive, short-tempered, hot-blooded and rowdy. Some stayed away from him. Sources said that Sreesanth may have taken a hotel room in a suburb because he preferred to stay away from teammates in a south Mumbai hotel.
