A big sting operation was conducted on the chairman of the Selection Committee of the Indian Cricket Board, Chetan Sharma, on Tuesday.

These revelations, captured on a spy camera, may have a profound impact on the Indian Cricket Board, and the Apex governing body of Cricket has left fans feeling misled.

Sharma disclosed that players are using fake fitness injections and that the Cricket Board is deliberately overlooking the injected fitness of players. The videos also reveal how influential players like Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya convince the Chief Selector and how prominent players use breaks to have a say in removing and adding players from the Playing XI and squad lists.

"The players are not fit, but they take injections to play. They are ready to play even at 80% fitness. They take injections and start playing," Sharma said in the leaked clips from the sting operation.

Chetan Sharma reveals a big ego clash between ex-Cricket Board president Sourav Ganguly and former India skipper Virat Kohli. Sharma said that Kohli thought he was above the board and that Ganguly was entitled to his stance.

He said Kohli was of the view that his captaincy was taken away just because of Ganguly's stance, and that is why at a press conference in South Africa, he hit back at Ganguly. Sharma accused Kohli of being a liar, and it was communicated beforehand not to give up his captaincy. Ganguly told Virat not to give up the role. Sharma added it hurt his ego, and as a result, Virat blamed Ganguly at the press conference.
