Cricket / Kohli proved Ganguly's statement false, Gavaskar said - Sourav should clarify

Cricket | Virat Kohli, after being removed from the captaincy of ODIs, held a press conference yesterday i.e. on Wednesday, in which he made many shocking revelations. Virat Kohli proved false the statement of BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, in which he had said that I had forbidden Virat Kohli to leave the captaincy of T20. Kohli has given his shocking reaction on that statement of Ganguly.

Kohli proves Ganguly's statement to be false

Kohli revealed that no one stopped him from leaving the T20 captaincy. Now regarding this, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has said that Sourav Ganguly should be asked why there is this difference in the statements? Kohli had said that while leaving the T20 captaincy, no one told me not to give up the captaincy. At the same time, Ganguly said that we had requested Kohli to continue in the post.

Gavaskar seeks clarification from Ganguly

Gavaskar said in a conversation with India Today, 'I think this comment of Kohli does not really reflect the BCCI in the picture. I think Ganguly is the person who should be asked from where did he get the impression that he has given such a message to Kohli. So that's it. Yes, he is the BCCI President and he must be asked why this difference? He is probably the best person to ask about the difference between what you want to say and what the Indian captain has said.

communication must be clear

Sunil Gavaskar also said, 'Always having a clear line in communication helps. Whatever has happened now, the communication should be clear beyond this and the chairman of the selection committee should come and tell the player why the selection was made and why not. Let us tell you that while speaking in the press conference, Virat Kohli said that no one stopped or talked to me while leaving the captaincy of the T20 team. Earlier, Sourav Ganguly had said that while leaving the T20 captaincy, Kohli was told not to leave it, but he did not agree. After this the selectors, following the principle of one captain for white ball cricket, made Rohit Sharma the captain.

What did Kohli say when he was dropped from the ODI captaincy?

After being removed from the captaincy, my batting will not see much impact. Whenever I play for India, I give my everything. The way I used to contribute in ODIs for India, I will continue to give in the same way. I am available for the ODI series and was available earlier also. I am also available for ODIs and have always wanted to play. I never told the board about a break. India will play a three-Test series against South Africa from December 26, followed by three ODIs.

Virat Kohli shocked by this statement

Virat Kohli said that when I left the T20 captaincy, I told the BCCI that I would like to captain in ODIs and Tests, but the selectors later decided in their own way. Virat Kohli said, 'I am available for selection for ODIs. Some things that came to the fore in the past that I was attending programs, such things are not reliable. I was contacted one and a half hours before the selection of the Test team and five five selectors told that I will not captain the ODI team.
