Mohammed Azharuddin rebutted “Kambli was never made a scapegoat. He was dropped from the team purely on the basis of his form. In fact he should be thankful to me for the cricket that he has played. He has always maintained that I was the best captain he has played under and now his statement is very annoying. On several tours he could h
ave sent back home due to his misdeeds. He was not disciplined and that spoiled him”

He formally announced his retirement from first class cricket on 22nd September’2011 and then while on the set of Big Boss expressed the desire to play in IPL. His confession against BCCI and Sachin Tendulkar in ‘Sach ka Samna’ had raised many questions and sympathy from his existing pool of fans.
The similarity between both of them is that they are great players be it on the cricket pitch or on the political front.
None can be trusted, unless proper interrogation happens. God knows this story might can have a political angle too
