Scott Kuggeleijn overview
Scott Kuggeleijn is a cricketer from New Zealand who is mainly a right-arm quick bowler and a right-hand batsman. Scott was born on 3rd January 1992 in Hamilton. He is the son of former New Zealand cricketer Chris Kuggeleijin. In 2015 Scott had to receive stain after the court in New Zealand accused him of raping a woman in an apartment in Hamilton.
The 29-year cricketer had to face trial twice and finally both the juries after trials, had exonerated him without finding any evidence. Scott also revealed later that he had sought an apology from the woman in a texted message. However, the cricketer was offered boos from the spectators at the stadium when he was playing in a T20 International match against India at his home during the series earlier this year. Many posters and placards, protesting against Scott's selection in the national team were seen also at the stadium. Chennai Super Kings also had to face flack from the cricket fraternity for recruiting Scott Kuggeleijin for the IPL last year.
