As expected SG has been declared fit and the conspiracy theorists (and I admit I am not entirely sure I do not support them) will feel vindicated. The news channels are full of stories questioning the veracity of the injury in the first place - they have conveniently forgotten that they are doubting the credentials of Dr. Anant Joshi and John Gloster by doing so - anyway, they are coming up with some weird punch-lines that say "The battle is won but the war is yet to begin" - also stating in no uncertain terms that this is a war between SG and 'people who don't want to see him in the team'.
Arre !! What kind of categorization is that ? I don't want to see him in the team as of today but if he returns to form and proves he deserves to be in the side above his competitors I would be extremely happy to have him back. Being dropped out of the team is simply a matter of form and fitness. Unfortunately the channels want to bill it as a great battle between SG and the People of India.
I must add that without exception all channels have taken an unmistakeable anti-SG stand in this so called 'battle' which is clearly a figment of their imagination. They have dug up stats, brought on dummy 'experts' to assert their point and have tried to influence the public in an unprecedented manner.
What is great is that if SG scores a big hundred tomorrow these very channels will start singing paeans of the man - and completely backtrack on their own ideas - and start propagating about how SG was always a class act and he had scored 10K runs and how he was being unfairly treated as compared to other players !!
Pathetic shallow-minded entities who have no understanding or concern for the game, for the public or the players - in fact for nothing but their own petty profits and rating points
