The Supreme Court observed yesterday that Srinivasan should step down from his post for a fair probe into the IPL fixing scandal and Bindra said the game has gained disrepute due to a single man's obsession with power.
"It's a moment of shame for us to see the game gaining such disrepute across the globe for a single man's obsession with power. It is time for all of us involved in the sport; all the stakeholders of the game in the country to take a call and express our displeasure at the way the game is being administered," Bindra said.
"Mr. Srinivasan, are you able to see the writing on the wall? Quit before you drag Indian cricket down the gutter along with yourself," he added.
He also took potshots at the BCCI top brass for not coming out in the open with clear views against Srinivasan.
"How else would you explain the defiance by the man? He is surely worried about the skeletons in the cupboard tumbling out if and when he departs. Why else would he be resisting stepping down after being castigated by the Supreme Court?" Bindra asked.
