Backstory of Iyer-BCCI Fiasco from KKR point of view.

 There was a mix-up when the NCA said he was ready to play. This annoyed the BCCI selection committee because Iyer was spotted at the Kolkata Knight Riders Academy in Mumbai. But a new report from the KKR camp showed a different side of the story.

Speaking to Revsportz, an insider from KKR explained that Iyer went to the KKR academy after being dropped from the Indian Test team to work on his injury, as franchise coach Chandrakant Pandit had mentioned earlier. He added that the Mumbai Cricket Association was informed of Iyer's actions, and team head coach Omkar Salvi frequently visited the camp to monitor his progress.

"After playing 60 balls in a session, his back was building spasms. He had to build up his resistance. Now he is playing 200 balls per session. In three weeks, he has put on three kilos of muscles. The Mumbai Cricket Association and the Mumbai team head coach (Omkar Salvi) have been kept in the loop. In fact, the Mumbai coach visited the KKR Academy several times to monitor Iyer’s progress. And now he has made himself available for the Ranji Trophy semi-final against Tamil Nadu," the person told the website on anonymity.

Speaking further on the topic, the source raised a hard-hitting question on KL Rahul's last appearance in a Ranji Trophy match. “KL Rahul, too, went to London for the treatment of his quadriceps pain. Nobody has asked a question. And when was the last time Rahul turned up for a Ranji game?

Is this all happening because Ajit Agarkar simply has the wrong side of the story:
