Sharma created a ruckus in Indian cricket with his objectionable remarks. From openly discussing confidential selection matters to claiming that players were taking injections to facilitate their returns to the national side
Chetan Sharmaโs allegations about Indian Cricket Team
In the TV sting, Sharma was seen opening up about an alleged ego clash between ex-BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and former India skipper Virat Kohli. He made it clear that Ganguly had asked Kohli to not quit as T20I captain in a video conference. Virat Kohli probably didnโt listen or know about it. The former Indian cricketer added that โKohli tried to defame Ganguly in the mediaโ during his press conference (by deliberately speaking about the change in captaincy) ahead of the SA tour as he felt it was the former Indian skipper behind his ODI captaincy sacking. He also said, โVirat Kohli considered himself bigger than the game. He had a Clash with Sourav Ganguly over Ego Issues.โ
โIndian Cricket Team players take injection & get 100% fit even if theyโre 80% fit. These are not painkillers. These injections contain a drug which isnโt caught in dope testโ, Chetan Sharma told Zee News.
According to a report filed by news agency ANI, Sharmaโs resignation was accepted by BCCI secretary Jay Shah. His second stint as the chairman of selectors lasted less than two months.
