In a series of posts on X, the 60-year-old former leg-spinner claimed that shortly after the cremation of his elder brother, he was contacted by a senior official from the BCCI broadcasting setup and asked to travel for commentary duties.
“My elder brother passed away a few years earlier. We finished cremation in the evening, minutes after that, The Director Broadcasting of BCCI called me and said, ‘now that the cremation is over, can you take a flight the next morning to commentate on Ind v Aus Test in Mohali?’. I went,” Sivaramakrishnan wrote.
