The corruption scandal that has rocked international cricket is finding an echo in India as well with out-of-favour pacer Irfan Pathan today claiming that he was sent expensive gifts by a "stranger", suspected to be a bookie, during a series.

Although he did not disclose when exactly the incident happened and which team he was playing against at that time, Pathan said expensive gifts were sent to his hotel room during the series and he reported the matter to the team manager.
