Three months after that sensational sting operation by a news channel that rocked Indian cricket, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector Chetan Sharma has finally broken his silence on social media. Two days after his series of shocking revelations on several topics related to Indian cricket, Chetan handed the resignation letter to BCCI secretary Jay Shah.
Amidst the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL), Chetan took to Twitter to break his silence via a cryptic tweet. “Life has been very tough so far. No hope from your near & dear. Hope Mata Rani bless me…..,” Sharma tweeted.
Though no one could get what this tweet actually mean, it drew reactions nevertheless. While some fans criticized him for revealing confidential details related to selection among other allegations, others simply extended their support amidst these testing times.

What did Chetan Sharma reveal during the sting operation?
Chetan Sharma openly talked on several topics which did not go down well with the BCCI top brass. He opened up about the ego clash between former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and former India captain Virat Kohli and the controversial statement by the latter after his removal.
He said Kohli had started to think himself “bigger than the Board” and had tried to “hit back” at Ganguly. After Kohli relinquished the captaincy role, Rohit Sharma was given the job, which according to Chetan wasn’t planned.
He also talked about players taking “injections” to make themselves available for selections despite being 80% to 85% fit. And on Hardik Pandya, Chetan said the Indian all-rounder would become India’s captain in the future and once he takes up the job, current captain Rohit Sharma would no longer represent the side. The BCCI hasn’t released any official statement on these revelations yet.
