When Virat Kohli decided to step down as captain of the Indian 20-over team, Indian Cricket Board chairman Ganguly said he did not accept the decision, urging it to be dropped. But Virat Kohli recently sparked controversy by claiming that no one on the cricket board side had asked him not to step down as captain. Chetan Sharma, the selector of the Indian team, said in an interview yesterday: –
We were surprised by the decision of Virat Kohli to step down as the captain of the 20-over team. The selection committee and all the Indian Cricket Board executives asked Kohli to reconsider the decision to withdraw and talk about it after the conclusion of the 20-over World Cup. But he was firm in his plan. No one told the goalie to step down as captain of the 20-over team. This is his personal decision. But when he stepped down as the captain of the 20-over team, we decided that there should be only one captain for white ball cricket (one day and 20 overs) and appointed Rohit Sharma.
Thus he said.
