Adam Gilchrist

Australian batsman and wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist authored "True Colours" in 2008. The book flew off the shelves for his take at Sachin Tendulkar, who during the Monkeygate racism scandal gave some questionable data against what was supposedly said to India's Harbhajan Singh. Eliciting events of the Monkeygate controversy, where Harbhajan Singh was accused of racism, Adam lashed out at the off-spinner, Tendulkar and cricket boards of both India and Australia.He also banged officials from both countries, condemning the BCCI of "playing politics" and Cricket Australia and the ICC of "caving in" when the spinner's original deferment was annihilated.
