Some of you might know that one player from the Kolkata Knight Riders team has been anonymously blogging at the site Fake IPL Player](http://fakeiplplayer.blogspot.com/) . His comments often ridicule the going-ons in the KKR camp. He often derides his coach, captain and does not even spare Shah Rukh Khan , his team’s owner.
He is presumably Desi, since he calls John Buchanan “Bhooka Naan”, SRK as “Dildo” etc.
I have a firm suspicion that the blogger is Murali Karthik.
Kathik’s english is pretty good for instance…much like the blogger’s. And also the blogger ridicules all his team mates but never Murali Karthik. Aakash Chopra of KKR is also somewhat of a writer (blogs on Cricinfo) but he comes across as too “seedha-saadha” guy to make such comments.
What makes you think it's a real player? Like it's name suggests, it's most likely a fake player/blogger. No player would dare make fun of the bosses, the captain, coach, the team, and the teammates (and I've gone to your link and read some of it). Sooner or later he'd be found out and not only get kicked out of KKR but no other team will hire him either. No sane person would risk losing his livelihood for the sake of a blog.

Did you read his posts ? They are very detailed about Team Meetings, Team selection process etc......which leaves little doubt that it is someone from the inside (though there is a chance that it is one of the support staff and not a player).
Actually in one of the posts, there is a comment that Akash Chopra should be grateful to 'lordie' and 'bhooka naan' (Ganguly and Buchanan) for giving a Test Player like him a chance to hone his T20 skills.

Why would Chopra write that about himself ?
My money is still on Karthik.
If it is indeed Chopra, then that'd be the perfect ruse to throw people off. Mocking everyone except one player would be a dead giveaway.
However, I still feel that it's not anyone in the team. It'd be pretty easy to catch someone blogging on his laptop, especially if they are sharing rooms with another player. Where does he find time to do this?
^^the posts have continued even after chopra left. recent posts have also mocked karthik (style-bhai spinner). will find out soon, in any case. he has promised to reveal all after the last game as he will then retire from all forms of cricket.
^^ I was just going to say that too. Lordie is the only one who has the balls (and the credentials) to say whatever comes to his mind without worrying about repercussions. Plus he has bone to pick with the administration.
I dont think that this Fake guy is a Current player in this IPL (KKR or not), he must be a professional writer, look at the language he uses, may be someone from websites like Cricketnext, Cricinfo etc or some retired or benched player.
