Former TN and Punjab Off-Spinner, Aashish Kapoor, reacting to Kambli's latest claims, said that it was laughable for Vinod to believe that he might have been paid to lose my wicket. He said "Nobody in their right mind would waste even 100 rupees on goading me to lose my wicket cheaply in an international match. They know it is a natural process. In my adopted home of Tamilnadu, there is a saying 'What is there in bowl only will show up in the ladle'. Like that, except Azhar, the collective worth of the non-sachin batsmen in that team was that much only; that too, on that pitch. And we all know Azhar was a fixer anyway. So, what's new?".
