The BCCI has taken a strong exception to former test cricketer Vinod Kambli's "allegations" on a reality TV show that his friend and mentor Sachin Tendulkar did not support him during the troubled times. Kambli reportedly made this "confession" in a new TV reality show, 'Sach Ka Saamna’ which will be aired on Star Plus from July 15. The show is the Hindi version of 'The Moment of Truth'.
During the questionnaire on the show, the organisers use a lie detector. The polygraph test easily detects any lie and the contestant is booted out of the show. Kambli alleged that he was subjected to discrimination because of his caste and colour.
The BCCI termed these allegations as racism charges and warned Kambli not to rake up such issues to gain cheap publicity. BCCI's Media and Finance Committee Chairman, Rajiv Shukla rubbished Kambli's claims and said that BCCI always fought against racism.
He also said the Sachin did not support him, when he needed him the most. "We are very close... we were very close. He could have done a little more, but he didn’t", said Kambli, sending shockwaves in the cricket world. Rajiv Shukla termed these accusations as baseless and said Sachin always helped youngsters.
