These injections are not caught in dope tests. #INDvAUS #BCCI

His injury got serious after 3rd T20I and he decided to withdraw. #INDvAUS #BCCI

3. "No player nowadays wants to leave the team due to injury or else will have to wait for 2 years to come back"
Gave example of Kishan that after he scored 200, career of 3rd keeper was in danger.
#INDvAUS #BCCI

4. If Samson is not picked because of Kishan and KL Rahul.. and if performs well in domestic, then selectors are going to be roasted on Twitter so they are always under pressure. #INDvAUS #BCCI
