Deandra Dottin denies any injury after being ruled out: 'Get well soon from what?'

Ahead of the inaugural match of the Women's Premier League, which took place on Saturday between Gujarat Giants and Mumbai Indians, the clouds of controversy had somewhat obscured the vision of the GG franchise. Before the match, it was reported that the star recruit, Deandra Dottin, who was picked at Rs.60 lakhs in the auction has been ruled out of the tournament. While Injury was the talking concern behind the departure, it turns out to be something different as the West Indies' all-rounder quashes injury remarks. 

Dottin took to Twitter to deny injury being the reason behind her ruling out of the tournament. Here's what she wrote, "I really appreciate all the messages but truth be told I’m recovering from nothing but the Holy Ghost anointing thank you." 

I really appreciate all the messages but truth be told I’m recovering from nothing but the Holy Ghost anointing thank you 🙏🏾 #GodIsGood #GodIsInControl

With this statement by the West Indian, Gujarat Giants might have to come up clarity on the matter. Meanwhile, Giants have already named australian allrounder Kim Garth as the replacement of Deandra Dottin.
