Kolkata, May 12, The Kolkata Knight Riders today declined to comment on the sensational revelation by former Test cricketer Ajay Jadeja that racial discrimination was prevalent in the Shah Rukh Khan-owned side in the Indian Premier League.

Jadeja said yesterday that an Indian player was asked to come off while fielding and when asked why he was called back, one of the assistant coaches said, "You bloody Indian, you do as you're told."

According to NDTV news channel, the player and coach involved are Test discard Ajit Agarkar and bowling coach Andy Bichel.

Asked for a reaction to Jadeja s comments, KKR director Joy Bhattacharya, who is in South Africa, declined to comment.

But a team insider claimed that racial bias existed in the team which is langishing at the bottom of the table in the ongoing IPL.

The insider cited examples of Saurav Ganguly and Aakash chopra etc. He said, " Racial discrimination is clearly prevalent in the side. Ganguly was sacked as captain two days before KKR's first match.... Chopra and Bangar were sent home by the KKR management.."
