Shocking revelations have come forth from former Indian cricketer (although he is yet to announce his retirement) about his childhood friendship with Sachin Tendulkar and the his problems with BCCI.
Two men started their journey with a history making 664 stand as young school boys. Thereafter, they went onto represent their country. But while one has come to hailed as arguably one of the best batsmen of all time, the other developed a reputation for being a troubled child and was dropped.
Sachin Tendulkar now stands accused by his friend, Vinod Kambli, who made the revelations in a programme to be aired on the Star Plus channel called “Sach ka Saamna” which is Hindi version of the popular show in the U.S. known as “The Moment of Truth”.
At the height of their success, Tendulkar and Kambli even featured in a Pepsi ad.
Under the polygraph test, Kambli answered questioned about his famous friendship with Tendulkar and also, of the issues concerning the BCCI that affected him. He alleged that Tendulkar did not help him in the most difficult phase of his life and that Tendulkar now considers his friendship with Kambli as an “embarrassment.”
Kambli also raised rattling issues against the BCCI, stating that he was discriminated in their selection policy because of his caste and colour, bringing the race issue into the picture. However, while Sachin has not commented yet, the BCCI have responded through Rajiv Shukla that they have never indulged in such discriminatory policies and that race issue was something they were fighting against on a universal basis.
Kambli has had a rough, tough growing up and cricket was a passion he carried on his sleeve. But he was often hauled up on disciplinary issues. Even the dance show that he did with fellow cricketers on a reality television dance show, the volatile Sreesanth off ran in with Kambli. Perhaps it is Kambli’s intentional or intentional habit of getting into controversies that the channel is riding on to boost its TRPs. They have certainly caught the eye balls.
