Former Indian captain Mohammed Azharuddin lashed out at Vinod Kambli for intimating that India’s 1996 World Cup semifinal match could have been fixed, saying the claims have been made by a person who requires character and were completely nonsense. Kambli never forget the 1996 match because my career ended after this match. Here you will get the details about Vinod Kambli will not forget the 1996 match, it finished Career!
According to sources, Azharuddin, who was the Indian captain at that time, said the decision to field first was a collective decision. May be when he was sitting in the meeting, he must have been sleeping, he added.
On Aug 15 August 2009, Indian TV channels reported that Kambli opened Khel Bharti Sports Academy in Mumbai and announced his retirement from cricket and his intention to coach at Khel Bharti Academy.
Kambli, a former Indian cricketer who has often been involved in arguments both on and off the field, on Thursday suspicted on the 1996 World Cup semifinal between India and Sri Lanka and said he found something wrong in the game.
According to sources, Kambli had said, I will never forget the 1996 match because my career ended after this and I was dropped from the team. I was stunned by India’s decision to field.
Azhar, disproved all the claims leveled against him saying it was a team decision to field after winning the toss. Toss was a team decision which was taken by all the team members that when we win the toss we will field. Whatever he is talking is absolutely rubbish and nonsense. Azhar also disapproved the claims that Kambli was made a fool, the cricketer got sufficient chances to prove himself but failed to exploit on the opportunities.
Azharuddin : The only reason behind India’s beat against Sri Lanka in the debatable semifinal match at Eden Gardens was that the team did not perform up to the mark. They played the match badly so that that we lost the match. Nothing to do with toss / batting first / fielding first. If we don’t play well you lose the match.
The other cricketer were also disproved the call for a investigation into the match saying will you have a investigation for every match India lost. Former cricketers Arun Lal and Atul Wassan also condemned Kambli for raking up the argument after 114 years. Why after so many years Kambli raised the topic?, readers you can post your comments below about Kambli issue, Azhar. Is that Kambli issue required now?.
