After this Ganguly had said that the selectors had asked Virat not to give up the captaincy of T20, but Virat did not agree and resigned. At the same time, the decision of the selectors to have two different captains in limited overs cricket did not feel right. After this, Ganguly along with Chetan Sharma spoke to Virat and explained to him the complete vision. It was only after Virat agreed that Rohit was made the captain of the ODI.

After Ganguly’s statement, Virat said in the press conference, “When I left the captaincy of T20, I first went to the BCCI. I informed them about my decision. I had put my thoughts and problems in front of everyone. The board accepted it and understood my concerns. They did not even once ask me to reconsider my decision.” After Virat Kohli’s press conference, there was a lot of ruckus and Ganguly was asked to answer in this matter. Many players from home and abroad gave their opinion on this. After this Ganguly said, “I will not comment on this matter. BCCI will deal with this matter properly.”
