Chetan Sharma Sting Operation Controversy: Indian cricket team’s chief selector Chetan Sharma has made sensational revelations in the alleged sting operation of a news channel regarding Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly. Due to this, there has been an earthquake in the Board of Control for Cricket in India. After the revelations made by Chief Selector Chetan Sharma about Indian cricket in the sting operation, the BCCI has decided to investigate the matter. These sensational revelations have happened at a time when the second Test between India and Australia is to be played in Delhi from February 17 and the team is to be selected for the next two matches as well. The revelations of the Chief Selector have embarrassed even the richest cricket board in the world.
Chetan Sharma was again made the selector of Team India only last month. In the sting operation of Zee News, he is seen saying that Indian cricketers take injections to stay fit and they know which injections do not get caught in the dope test. Apart from this, he also claimed that there was a big ego clash between former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and former captain Virat Kohli. At the same time, an excuse is being made to leave Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma out of the team.

A sword hangs over Chetan Sharma’s job!
According to the report of news agency PTI, BCCI is keeping an eye on this matter. The national team selectors are bound by contract with the Indian Cricket Board and are not allowed to publicly discuss matters related to the team. In this matter, a senior BCCI official told PTI on the condition of anonymity, “It is only BCCI secretary Jai Shah who will decide what will be the future of Chetan Sharma? The question is whether T20 captain Hardik Pandya or ODI and Test captain Rohit Sharma would want to sit with Chetan in a team selection meeting after this revelation, knowing that he can reveal inside information like this.
BCCI to conduct internal inquiry into Chetan’s revelations
On this matter, a senior BCCI official told InsideSport, “It is really shameful. Not just for BCCI but for the entire cricket fraternity in India. Right now the Australia team is touring India. This disclosure will have a wide impact. The board will not only have to pacify the cricketers but also deal with their reactions. There will be an internal inquiry into the matter. But one thing is certain that Chetan Sharma’s days in BCCI are numbered. Because after such revelations the players will no longer trust him.
Chetan Sharma may be removed from the post of Chief Selector!
Let us tell you that after the embarrassing performance of the Indian cricket team in the T20 World Cup, the BCCI had sacked the entire selection committee headed by Chetan Sharma. However, a month later, the BCCI again made Chetan Sharma the head of the selection committee. But now after the sting operation, once again there is a possibility that he will be shown the way out again. It is very possible that Chetan Sharma himself will leave his post. However, no official statement has come from the BCCI on this matter so far.
