Kohli’s childhood coach ‘surprised’ at Ganguly’s statement; ‘No transparency’

Earlier this week, Rohit Sharma was appointed as India’s new ODI captain, succeeding Virat Kohli in that role. Less than a month after Rohit was also appointed as the captain of the T20I, BCCI announced the captain change in a 50-round format. Corley confirmed before the 2021 T20 World Cup that he will leave the leadership role in the shortest form on the grounds of workload management.

BCCI’s announcement about the ODI captain conversion surprised many people because Kohli specifically mentioned in his statement that he was looking forward to leading the team in ODI and testing. The Indian batsman’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma was equally surprised by the sudden announcement, insisting that when Kohli stepped down as the T20I captain, the selectors should be more aware of their position.

“I haven’t talked to him (Virat Kohli). His mobile phone shut down for some reason. But in my opinion, he has clearly retired from the T20 captain position, and the selection staff should directly ask him to withdraw from the two white balls. The competition system, or not quit at all,” Sharma said in a speech on the Khelneeti podcast. Sharma further expressed surprise at Sourav Ganguly’s recent comments on the captain change. The president of BCCI has stated that the board of directors has requested Kohli “not to resign as captain of T20I.”

“I recently read Sourav Ganguly’s comment. They asked Kohli not to resign as the captain of the T20I (before the World Cup). I don’t remember anything like this. This statement was beyond my expectation. There are different theories circulating around,” Sharma said.

Sharma further called on the selection committee to increase transparency in the decision-making process. “The selection committee did not provide the reasons behind the decision. We don’t know what management, BCCI or the selectors want. There is no clarification, no transparency at all.

“It’s a pity how this happened. He is such a successful one-day captain,” said the 56-year-old.
