Virat Kohli-Sourav Ganguly Controversy: How Things Started?

The Ganguly- Kohli controversy started when BCCI sacked Virat Kohli as India ODI captain ahead of the South Africa tour. Virat was clearly upset with the move and made some bold claims in a fiery press conference. Virat said that BCCI didn’t have any prior discussion about change in ODI leadership and he was informed about the same just hours before the team’s departure over a phone call. Kohli’s words contradicted Ganguly’s claims that he asked Virat Kohli not to quit as T20I captain as the board does not want split captaincy. Ganguly said that since Virat Kohli decided to step down as India T20I captain, the board also sacked him as ODI captain, handing over the reins to Rohit Sharma.
