Is Desperate Vinod Kambli Trying To Use Sachin Tendulkar To Further His Political Ambitions?
Filed under : Sweetest, Vinod Kambli
Remember Vinod Kambli? Yes, he of the unbeaten test cricket record-fame, which included two double centuries and two centuries in merely 7 tests. Unfortunately, the erstwhile blue-eyed boy of Indian cricket’s hard partying habits soon caught up with him, which combined with several other not-so-savory factors led to his ouster and subsequent fall from cricket’s ivory Hall of Fame.
After a dismal Bollywood run, Kambli’s once illustrious career soon disintegrated into shambles, prompting him to look for other, more lucrative avenues. Then came Sacch Ka Saamna – the desi spin-off of the immensely popular Moment of Truth. Perched on the hot-seat, Kambli made several bold and very startling claims about being discriminated against on the basis of his caste and color. What’s more, he even went on to blame Sachin Tendulkar for ‘not lending him a helping hand’ when his fledgling cricket career took a steep nosedive.
After all this tamasha, Kambli cleverly retracted his comments, stating that he had never said anything against Tendulkar or The Indian Cricket Board.
Surprised? Don’t be. It so turns out that Kambli’s apparent love-hate relationship with Tendulkar may merely be a ploy to get the Master-Blaster to canvass for him for the Maharashtra Assembly Elections.
Our man Kambli, who had no qualms whatsoever about pointing fingers at everyone except himself for his downfall, is all to eager to eat his words… just so that he can cash in on Tendulkar’s mega-popularity and success.
Kambli, we know that you haven’t had it easy, but given the kind of reputation you’ve earned yourself with all the hard partying and poor performance, the least you can do is choose your side of the fence and plant your backside firmly to it. Hopping to and fro with bizarre allegations of ‘racial discrimination’ and playing the stereotyped ‘blame game’ doesn’t win you any popularity points, at least not with the millions of Tendulkar fans who have been watching cricket long enough to sort fact from bogus hot air.

Never thought Virender Sehwag would be in the limelight so often? Well, all the more reason to read on!
You know how successful cricketers have this habit of opening upscale restaurants and charging ridiculously high prices for ‘the ambience and gourmet food’? Well Virender Sehwag has also joined in the fun. Apparently, he’s been selling off franchises of his restaurant ‘Food Too‘ all over the country to interested businessmen without actually intending to let ‘em have it! As a franchiser, Viru has a strange way of doing business. Our wannabe business tycoon thinks that potential franchisees should hand over a hefty cheque but have no right to expect a franchise in return!
Did Viru get a really hard knock in the head with a cricket ball? Did someone say brain dead? Makes you wonder doesn’t it?
Anyway one irate Allahabad businessman claims to have gotten caught in Viru’s loopy deal and decided to file charges against our reluctant franchiser. The matter is pending before the courts.
What’s up dude? Do you think your status as a star cricketer gives you the right to be a bubble brain at other people’s expense? All this bad press can only harm your reputation as a cricketer and wannabe businessman. Now what are you going to do with about this lawsuit?
Oh… I know… you’ll probably use the lawsuit as an excuse to not play in the upcoming ‘Compaq Cup‘ in Sri Lanka. Smart move Viru! But do take care, people have been pushed to the brink of retirement for bad press. You are walking a very thin line here. Maybe, a certain Mr. Kambli will help you refresh your memory…
