Guru Greg wanted Sachin out of Indian team!

Last week, I was juz goin thru TV channels, and then I saw an interview with former India wicket-keeper and Chief Selector Kiran more. I don’t remember the name of that programme, but it was on Zee news. But that interview revealed great news for the cricket lovers across India. In a stunning revelation, Kiran More said that Greg Chappell wanted Sachin to be kept out of the Indian team, and pressurized the selection committee to toe-in line.

Chappell, who had a much talked about rift with the then captain Sourav Ganguly, played a significant role in the ouster of the latter. But it had never come into fore that Sachin was also on Greg’s hit list.

Talking exclusively to Zee News, Kiran More, for the first time, came out with the sensational news that the Greg had problems with Sachin too, as the Master Blaster was annoyed with the way the coach was doing ‘certain things’.

But More said that despite the pressure, they never even thought of ousting Sachin from the team, and never discussed it during any of selection committee meetings.

One of my friends who also were there watching the interviews made an interesting comment about it: "Think if Greg was in India, and Sachin made out of the team... He wud have never seen Australia after that!!!"
