Baichan started the tour on a high with 158 against Indian Universities at Indore and 114 against South Zone at Hyderabad in his first two matches of the tour, outscoring Greenidge in both matches. Unfortunately for him, he suffered a car accident that kept him out of the first Test at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. The selectors’ job became a lot easier: Greenidge made his debut, scored 93 and 107, and never looked back. Baichan did not get to play a Test on the India-leg of the tour.
Baichan’s chance eventually came when Greenidge missed the two Tests in Pakistan. He made his debut in the first Test at Gaddafi. After Andy Roberts skittled out the hosts for 199, Baichan put up a defiant 66 with Fredericks before falling to Sarfraz Nawaz for 20. Alvin Kallicharran’s 92 gave the hosts a slender 15-run lead despite some hostile bowling from Sarfraz.

That 75 tour sealed his fate. Australia can be a cruel place. The great ones generally do well there.

I see no reason why Baichan cannot come out with the "real" story.
The trend seems to be that anyone with an "asian" background is always "hard done" and subject to discrimination. No matter what that players does or does not do.
