People thought Azharuddin the former MP and Cricketer from Hyderabad has landed in yet another controversy. There were rumours that he would contest this election in December with a Congress ticket. He was seen with the politicians here and there, but now he was at Eden garden ringing the bell for a match.
India has won the match but Gautam Gambhir objected the way Azhar has been given the honour of ringing the bell for the cricket match. Azhar was named in the match-fixing, but later the court cleared him. His ban came to an end, but there was no clarity if he could do these honours or fight the election for any of the cricket board in the country.
There was an objection when he tried to contest the election for Hyderabad cricket association also. Some senior Congress leaders said that he would contest the MP elections in 2019.
So far the BCCI or Azaharuddin in person did not clarify if he was eligible to ring the bell before the match. There are rumours that Azhar might campaign for the Congress candidates in Telangana.
