However, prior to boarding the flight to South Africa, Kohli claimed that he was given only 1:30 hours to step down or be removed as ODI captain. In the Zee News sting operation, Chetan Sharma claimed that Ganguly did ask Kohli to reconsider his decision to step down as T20I captain, but he did not listen.
Sharma also stated that Kohli believed Ganguly played a role in his removal as captain, so in order to retaliate, he launched an unwelcome attack on the then-BCCI president.
When a player gains some experience, he believes he has complete control, even more than the board. Then he believes he is untouchable and that the board cannot harm him. A player believes that without him, cricket will perish, but many big players have come and gone, Chetan Sharma was overheard saying in a Zee News sting operation.
He obviously felt that he lost the ODI captaincy because of the president of the BCCI . When Virat Kohli was discussing leaving the T20 captaincy with the BCCI, Ganguly tried to persuade him not to do so, he added.
source: the deshbhaktThere’s an ego clash going on. One who believes Ganguly has deposed him as captain, so I will exact my vengeance. Virat made statements in the media in an attempt to discredit Ganguly, but it backfired, Sharma explained.
This sting operation is going to cause a lot of havoc in Indian cricket, and we wouldn’t be surprised if Chetan Sharma is fired as chief selector right away.
