On Thursday, the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli revealed that there was confusion, uncertainty and “lack of clarity” over Rohit Sharma’s injury saga. During the virtual media interaction ahead of the ODI series in Sydney, Kohli said “It’s been very confusing and a lot of uncertainty and lack of clarity around the situation.” Reacting to the Indian Cricket Team captain’s comments, Bengal’s Ranji Trophy skipper Manoj Tiwary posted a cryptic tweet, with a reference to former WWE star and Hollywood actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Using Johnson’s catchphrase, Tiwary wrote: “Lack of clarity has different meaning when it comes out from the mouth of two different individuals. If u smeeeellllllll Wat d rock is cooking”.

Talking about the injuries, Kohli had said, “Right now, there is so much uncertainty and whether they are going to make it and if they are going to make it at all or not. After that (the selection meeting) he played in the IPL and we all thought he would be on that flight to Australia and we had no information on why he is not travelling with us. There has been no information, there has been lack of clarity. We have been playing the waiting game.”
Rohit and Ishant are currently undergoing rehab at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.
