The removal of Virat Kohli from the post of captain of the Indian ODI team has caused a great storm in the world of cricket. In this context, what he said at the press conference today has sown various controversies. And all of his wording refers to regret on the BCCI. The day after the goalie was fired, news broke in the media. That is, the BCCI was forced to issue a statement one day dismissing the captain, who was given a 48-hour deadline.
But the goalie has refused to serve as captain until the 2023 One-Day World Cup. This is why the BCCI officially announced the removal of the goalie in an indirect tweet. In that tweet, the BCCI said that it would make Rohit Sharma the captain of the one-day team, not saying a single word about the goalie. No congratulations for acting as captain. The BCCI has posted a congratulatory tweet to Kohli as if various questions were going to arise.
A leader who led the side with grit, passion & determination. ????????????

Almost the same situation happened to former captain Ganguly. Criticism arose over Ganguly as to whether he could be the captain and give another captain such pain. One day, it will not be possible to have two captains in both formats as T20. That is why the BCCI is making such a decision. Similarly, Ganguly said in an earlier interview that when he was told that Kohli was stepping down from the T20 captaincy, he refused.
But whether that is true or not is a betrayal of today’s goalie’s speech. He told reporters: “I have made it clear to the BCCI that I will be stepping down as captain with the T20 World Cup. I said.
However, BCCI executives and captains have said that one day I will not worry even if I do not want to continue as captain for Test matches. ” He went on to say, “I only knew that I was removed from the captaincy one day when the team selection for the Test series against South Africa was taking place. The BCCI had not spoken to me about this in advance and had not given me any notice.
An hour and a half before the team exam, the selector called me on the phone. Then he discussed the Test team with me. He also told me about the players in the Test squad. Eventually all 5 of us on the selection committee said they had decided to remove you from the captaincy one day. This is what happened. I did not receive any information in advance. ” In light of this, it is clear that the BCCI did not pay due respect to the captain. The question also arises as to whether Ganguly lied.
