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.

Gambhir acknowledges that his “sole regret in seven years of captaincy” is Suryakumar Yadav: “KKR failed to recognise his potential.”

Throughout his incredible career with the Mumbai Indians since 2018, Suryakumar Yadav has become a household name. He has established himself as a vital member of the batting lineup and is seen as the team’s future leader. He was able to establish himself in the Indian white-ball team and get to the top of the IC batting rankings in the format because to his valiant efforts at MI. But before he was let away, Suryakumar was a member of the Kolkata Knight Riders lineup from 2014 to 2017. When former captain Gautam Gambhir reflects on the two IPL titles won by KKR during that time, he named the star player from India his greatest regret.

KKR featured Suryakumar Yadav from 2014 to 2017.

In 2012, Suryakumar began his IPL career with the Mumbai Indians, appearing in just one match before being cut loose the following year. He was signed by KKR in 2014, and he won the championship in his first campaign there. The right-handed batter scored 608 runs in 54 games during his four-year tenure with the team, although the majority of those runs were scored as a lower middle order hitter.

In an interview with Sportskeeda on Monday, Gambhir said that his biggest regret as KKR captain is that he failed to recognise Suryakumar’s ability or his ideal batting position in the lineup.

Finding and showcasing the greatest potential is the responsibility of a leader. If there’s one thing I regret from my seven years as captain, it’s that neither I nor the squad were able to fully utilise Suryakumar Yadav. And combinations were the key to the cause. At No. 3, you may only play one person. As a leader, you also need to consider the other ten players in the starting lineup. Although he was just as excellent at No. 7, he would have been far more effective at No. 3, he said.

Gambhir went on to praise Suruyakumar for being a team player, citing the reason behind his appointment as the team’s vice-captain in 2015.

He was a team player as well. A good player may be anyone, but becoming a team player takes skill. Playing him at No. 6 or 7 or benching him, he was constantly grinning and eager to contribute to the squad. He went on, “That’s why we named him vice captain.”
