Sourav Ganguly: Rohit’s captaincy, question on relationship with Virat, Sourav Ganguly played with the answer like this
[ad_1]
Ganguly said, ‘There is no use in speaking on why Virat Kohli left the captaincy. Although we were not completely ready to give up the captaincy in Virat’s Test. It was his decision but someone had to be the captain in his place and at that time no one was better than Rohit.
He said, ‘I had full faith in Rohit. Rohit has won the IPL title five times to Mumbai Indians under his captaincy. Winning the IPL trophy is a big deal. Winning the IPL is tougher than the World Cup. It is not easy at all to reach the playoffs after playing 14 matches. This is the reason why Rohit Sharma was the best option for me after Virat.
How was the relationship with Virat?
There has been a lot of talk in the last few years about the relationship between Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli. Although neither Virat Kohli nor Sourav Ganguly ever openly said anything from their side. Although Sourav Ganguly has definitely spoken about Kohli now. He said, ‘After the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli had announced that he would leave the captaincy from this format. Although he wanted to continue the captaincy in ODIs and Tests.
Ganguly said, ‘BCCI was not in favor of separate captains in T20 and ODIs. In such a situation, the ODI captaincy was taken from Virat Kohli. He had already announced to leave the captaincy from T20 but after that what he said in the press conference on South Africa tour was quite surprising.
What was Virat Kohli’s side?
Before the tour of South Africa, Virat Kohli had said about his captaincy in the press conference that, ‘I went to the meeting when the team was being selected. The Test team was discussed with the selectors but after the meeting was over, I was told that I cannot continue as captain in ODIs. In such a situation, I agreed to his decision.
Virat had also spoken about the captaincy of T20. He had said, ‘When I had decided to leave the captaincy from T20, I had told the BCCI about it. The board also took it in the right way. No one told me that I should remain the captain in T20. I said at that time that I want to continue with ODI and Test captaincy.
