Former BCCI selector Chetan Sharma posts a helpless tweet three months after sting operation saga

Chetan Sharma resigned as BCCI's chairman of selectors after he got exposed in a sting operation earlier this year.

Former cricketer Chetan Sharma, who resigned as the chief selector of the men's Indian cricket team three months ago, has recently made a significant Twitter post, breaking his silence after a sting operation ended his career. Following a controversial release of video footage by an Indian news channel, which captured Sharma making several revelations about the Indian team, he faced a disgraceful departure as the chairman of the national selection committee.

Chetan Sharma's Emotional Tweet: Seeking Blessings Amidst Tough Times

Amidst the current season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), the former Indian cricketer and former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief selector, Chetan Sharma took to Twitter, posting a tweet that caught the interest of online users. “Life has been very tough so far. No hope from your near & dear. Hope Mata Rani bless me.....,” Sharma tweeted.

While certain fans criticized the former Indian selector for provoking controversy with his explosive statements during the TV sting, others showed their support for the former chairman of the national selection committee during these challenging circumstances.

Sharma's Controversial Statements: A Stir in Indian Cricket

With his objectionable remarks, Sharma undeniably caused a stir in Indian cricket, openly discussing confidential selection matters and even alleging that players were receiving injections to expedite their comebacks to the national team.

Sharma's Fallout: Resignation as Chief Selector after TV Sting Operation

During the TV sting, Sharma revealed details about a supposed clash of egos between former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly and former Indian captain Virat Kohli. Kohli made a surprising decision to step down as the captain of the Indian cricket team in the shortest format of the game while Ganguly was in charge. Following Kohli's departure, veteran Indian opener Rohit Sharma took over the captaincy role across all formats.

As a result of the undercover TV sting operation, Sharma's position as the chief selector became untenable. According to a report from news agency ANI, BCCI secretary Jay Shah accepted Sharma's resignation. His second tenure as the chairman of selectors lasted less than two months.
