Did bowling coach Andy Bichel racially attack Ajit Agarkar with the words, 'you Indian, you do as you are told'?
MiD DAY learns through sources in the Kolkata Knight Riders' team that an incident like this never took place with Agarkar or any other player.
A player reportedly got the above response from the former Australia fast bowler when he asked why was he summoned from the field of play.
Former star Ajay Jadeja, now an expert with NDTV, opened up another KKR-related controversy on Monday when he revealed that Indian players were being racially abused by KKR's support staff.
Shocking
When MiD DAY spoke to a member of the KKR team, he stressed that he didn't want to be quoted since it would not be right for him to issue clarifications. He left that action for the team management to take. "Nothing of this sort has happened. It is shocking how people can lie on television. There are no issues here with anyone. I am sure someone will clarify the situation soon," the team member said.
Certain people in the KKR outfit that lost their ninth game in Centurion against Bangalore Royal Challengers yesterday believe it's a witch hunt. "It's so disappointing that someone would want to be so stupid to make such serious statements."
