Ganguly wanted to send show cause notice to Kohli after captaincy controversy!
The ongoing dispute between Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly and former Team India captain Virat Kohli is once again in the headlines. There was a lot of uproar over the press conference that Virat Kohli held as captain before leaving for South Africa tour. After the claim made by Virat Kohli in this, Sourav Ganguly wanted to send him a show cause notice.
In fact, after Virat Kohli left the captaincy of the T20 World Cup, Sourav Ganguly had claimed that he had asked Kohli not to do so. But Virat Kohli proved this claim wrong in the press conference. Then Sourav Ganguly wanted to send him a show cause notice, but BCCI secretary Jay Shah stopped him from doing so.
According to the information, Jay Shah spoke to Sourav Ganguly and on that occasion advised Virat Kohli not to send a show cause notice. Because then Team India was going on a tour of South Africa, in such a situation, if the captain of the team was given notice, then the whole attention could have been divided. This was the reason why Sourav Ganguly did not do this.
Ganguly vs Kohli controversy
Let us tell you that before the T20 World Cup, Virat Kohli had announced to leave the captaincy of T20, the World Cup was his last tournament as a captain. After this, Sourav Ganguly had given a statement that he had personally spoken to Virat and asked him not to leave the captaincy or to wait till the World Cup.
However, when Virat Kohli held a press conference, he claimed that no one had asked him not to leave the captaincy, but his decision was welcomed by the selectors and others. After this claim of Virat Kohli, chief selector Chetan Sharma had also said in one of his press conferences that Virat Kohli was asked by the selectors to stay till the T20 World Cup but he did not do so.
It is worth noting that before the tour of South Africa, the selectors had also removed Virat Kohli from the captaincy of ODIs. Because the selectors did not want to have different captains in the white ball format. However, while leaving the captaincy of T20, Virat Kohli had said that he wants to captain ODIs, Tests. By the way, after the defeat in South Africa, Virat Kohli also left the captaincy of the Test.
