Significantly, there has been an increase in the tussle between Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly in recent times. On 8 December, Virat was removed from the captaincy of the ODI team. After this Ganguly had told that he had advised Virat not to give up the captaincy of T20, but Virat Kohli refused to continue the captaincy.

After this Virat Kohli had a press conference before leaving for South Africa. What Virat said in the press conference was completely opposite to Sourav Ganguly’s statement. Regarding leaving the T20 captaincy, Virat had said, ‘When I took this decision, I had informed the BCCI. At that time this decision was taken in the right way. Nobody told me that I should continue as the captain of T20.

In countries like Australia, England and West Indies, under the captaincy of Virat, India made its mark in Test cricket. Apart from this, Virat also had a great record as captain in ODIs and T20 Internationals.
