Virat Kohli contradicts Sourav Ganguly, says ‘I was never told not to give up T20 captaincy’
Virat kohli press conference Tamil News: With Virat Kohli stepping down as captain of the Indian T20 cricket team, senior batsman Rohit Sharma has been appointed captain of the team. The BCCI has announced Rohit Sharma as the captain of the ODI team that will continue to play in the series against South Africa. Earlier, BCCI chief Saurav Ganguly had told The Indian Express that Rohit Sharma had been appointed captain of the ODI cricket team and Virat Kohli had been removed from the post of T20 captain.
It said, “Regardless of India’s performance in the T20 World Cup, if Virat Kohli had not resigned as T20 captain, he would have continued as the white-ball captain. We had no plans to change the captaincy then. After the goalie stepped down as T20 captain, the selectors decided to completely separate the red and white ball captains to avoid confusion.
We (BCCI) have asked Virat Kohli not to step down as T20 captain. Besides, one day I personally talked to the goalie about a change of captaincy. The selectors also spoke to Collie. But the goalie did not listen to any of their comments. “
In this context, Virat Kohli told reporters today, “Since announcing my resignation from the post of T20 captain (until December 8), I have not had any proper contact with the BCCI. No formal response was received from them.
They contacted me an hour and a half ago to select the Test team. Then five selectors told me I would never be the team captain one day. No advance notice was given of my removal from the post of team captain one day. I accepted it too.
But no one ever told me not to give up the T20 captaincy. ” That said.
Earlier, BCCI chairman Saurav Ganguly had said that the BCCI had asked Virat Kohli not to step down as T20 captain and that one day he had personally spoken to Kohli about the change of captaincy and the selectors had spoken to Kohli.
In this situation, Virat Kohli has said that no one has ever told him not to give up the post of T20 captain. Kohli also said that he had a contradictory opinion to what Ganguly had said. Cricket fans are thus confused as to who is saying this is true.
