Sharma – who is now at the centre of this storm which is likely to impact cricket – is no ordinary man. He is the chief selector of the BCCI – the richest cricketing body in the world. A man capable of making or breaking the career of any player.

Will you believe that Team India players take injections for getting the fitness certificate, will you believe that it is nearly impossible to overrule Chetan Sharma’s decision taken during the team selection process? Do you know who actually writes the script about which of your favourite players will be dropped every time the team is announced for many upcoming events?

The shocking disclosures made by Sharma are just the ”tip of the iceberg.” The full picture is yet to come out. Sharma has brought to the fore the discord between former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and Team India captain Virat Kohli, revealing how the latter blamed the former for removing him from the captaincy.

If Sharma is to be believed, Ganguly did nothing to remove Kohli from the captaincy, the biggest factor behind the conflict between Ganguly and Virat was the latter’s ego. As per Sharma, Kohli felt that he lost captaincy because of Ganguly, however, the allegations made by Kohli against Ganguly were false. According to Sharma, Kohli deliberately accused Ganguly. However, it was Chetan Sharma’s decision to remove Kohli from the white ball captaincy. Sharma said on Zee News’ camera that it was the decision of the selection committee to remove Virat from the captaincy and make Rohit the captain.

Among other dark exposures, Sharma has revealed how ”unfit” players are becoming fit with the help of injections. According to Sharma, many Team India players take injections which go undetected during the dope test. Sharma has alleged that top cricket players and their physiotherapists, and doctors are also involved in Team India’s fake fitness game.

Citing an example of Pacer Jaspreet Bumrah’s injury and his subsequent selection in the team, Sharma has accepted that he is aware of the fact that the players take injections to remain fit. However, he says there is no proof of that. He has also accepted that the fitness of Bumrah was overlooked to include him in the team.

Today, on Zee News’ spy camera, Chetan Sharma himself revealed the dark secrets or the ‘dirty game’ of Indian cricketers and left several questions about the impartiality of the BCCI’s team selection process and why some players are still favoured despite poor fitness levels and why some others are dropped even after good consistence performance and good fitness level.

Watch tonight’s episode of DNA to understand in detail how Chetan Sharma’s shocking disclosures will impact the game of cricket in India and the world in the days to come and will the BCCI take any steps to address those issues.
