    The fans of the Indian cricket team were caught by surprise when they saw Rohit Sharma walking to the middle of the field for the toss ahead of the final regular season match of Indian Premier League 2020 between Mumbai Indians and SunRisers Hyderabad.
    Down with a hamstring injury in his left leg and out for the last three matches of the league, very little to no update was heard during the past couple of weeks. The batsman could be seen practicing in the nets a couple times but because he didn’t play in matches after the practice sessions, people believed that he was going to be out of contention for a long time.

    Their belief was further solidified by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) when they announced the Team India squads for the upcoming tour of Australia during which all three formats will be played and Rohit Sharma’s name wasn’t added in any of the rosters.
    With the roster revelation, BCCI also announced that in the absence of Sharma, KL Rahul would go on to become the vice captain of the team in limited overs cricket.

    So fans were convinced that Sharma’s injury was severe and that we will definitely not be seeing any more of him playing in the Mumbai Indians kit during the remainder of the season, including the playoffs and potentially the final too.
    BCCI president, Sourav Ganguly also came out to try and bring clarity to the situation but ended up further complicating matters for the team, the selection committee and the fans alike.

    — ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) November 3, 2020In an conversation with PTI, Ganguly said: 

    “Rohit is injured at the moment. Otherwise, why would we leave out a player like him. He is the vice-captain of the national (limited-overs) team. We will have to assess him. I don’t know (when he can come back). He hasn’t played so far since the time he has got injured. We want him to recover. It’s the BCCI’s job to get their best players on the park. If he recovers, he plays.”This above-mentioned comment was made before Sharma played the IPL match on Tuesday.

    Even though the opening batsman couldn’t leave an impact on the game and gave up his wicket for just four runs, never did he feel “unfit or injured” so much as to not being named in the rosters for a series which is over a month away.
    Ganguly’s statement therefore led to a wave of confusion over the Indian cricketing fraternity, who can’t help but wonder what is going on behind the expensive curtains of the BCCI.
    Is the BCCI president unaware of the health and fitness condition of India’s best ODI player at the moment? If so, why not? Is there something the selection committee is not letting out of their meeting room? What happens now? Will Sharma be included in the squads again? Will KL Rahul’s vice captaincy be taken away just days after he got it?
