Indian cricket has been rocked by some shocking revelations from the Chairman of the Selection Committee of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Chetan Sharma, following a sting operation by Zee News. In the operation, Sharma admitted that several Indian cricket stars were involved in doping and taking injections to hide injuries and get 100% fit, even if they were only 80% fit.
Chetan Sharma spilled the beans on a number of previously unknown facts about Indian cricket, including the use of fake injections, the root cause of the Virat Kohli vs Sourav Ganguly feud, and who holds the power to remove players from the team. These revelations are a significant blow to the BCCI and the International Cricket Council and will leave fans feeling misled.
One of the biggest revelations was about fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah’s injury, which Sharma claimed was so critical that if he had played just one match at the T20 World Cup in Australia, he would have been ruled out for at least a year.
Sharma also spoke about the Indian captaincy saga, with Virat Kohli being sacked as white-ball captain and Rohit Sharma taking over. He revealed that the selectors run Indian cricket and decide its present and future, with players like Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, and Umesh Yadav visiting his house and trusting him.
