How Sachin Tendulkar took my side during interview and made me cry, reveals Sreesanth

Mumbai: S Sreesanth, who is currently a part of a reality show Bigg Boss, revealed how Sachin Tendulkar, during an interview, talking about his contribution made him cry.

Sreesanth, who played during India’s ICC World Twenty20 Championship triumph in 2007 and ICC World Cup win in 2011, lost his place in the Indian cricket team following the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing scandal.

Sreesanth, along with Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan, were then arrested by Delhi Police, and was then banned by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) following. While the Kerala High Court lifted the ban on Sreesanth, the ban was later restored the ban following a BCCI petition.

"I want to share one incident related to Sachin Tendulkar. 1-2 years after our 2011 World Cup triumph, an interview was going on. The interviewer asked about everyone. 2011 you guys played well taking all players' names but not mine. When the interview was about to end, Sachin Tendulkar prompted my name saying Sreesanth also played a major role. I cried a lot during that time,” Sreesanth told his fellow Bigg Boss participant Anup Jalota.
