Former India cricketer Laxman Sivaramakrishnan has shared another harrowing ordeal from his time as a commentator, just weeks after retiring from the role due to alleged "colour discrimination".

In a shocking revelation posted to social media on Thursday, Sivaramakrishnan lamented the mistreatment he faced despite his deep commitment to the job.

He claimed that the then BCCI Director of Broadcasting forced him to work right after the death of his elder brother, requiring him to be on air and commentating on a match just hours after the cremation."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 on his official X account.My Elder brother passed away a few years earlier.
