Chetan Sharma had made some big claims in a Zee News Sting video earlier this week. The BCCI had indicated that it would seek an explanation as contracted officials are not allowed to speak to the media.
In an exclusive sting conducted by Zee News Channel, Sharma claimed that Kohli had ‘lied’ when he told the media in 2021 that Ganguly did not try to stop him from stopping the T20 captaincy after the T20 World Cup 2021 in which India failed. to reach the semi-finals. Back in 2021, Kohli had informed the media that he was told by the selectors that he would no longer continue as the ODI captain as well.
“Virat Kohli felt he lost the captaincy because of the BCCI president. There were 9 people in the selection committee video conference, Ganguly may have told him ‘think again’. I think Kohli didn’t hear what was 9 others there, including myself and all other selectors, BCCI officials – Kohli might not have heard him,” the former chairman of selectors said in the video.
