\nFollowing controversy between former Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly, the latter tried to clear the air on media saying \u201clet\u2019s not take this forward\u201d. While speaking to an Indian media outlet, Ganguly said: \u201cLet\u2019s not take this further. I\u2019ve got nothing to say. It\u2019s a BCCI matter. BCCI will deal with it.\u201d Earlier, Kohli had contradicted all of Ganguly\u2019s statements that the board had asked the star player to reconsider the decision. \u201cI was never told that I should not leave T20I cricket captaincy. I told the BCCI before giving up the T20I captaincy. I told them my point of view,\u201d he had said, while addressing a press conference earlier this week.<\/p>\n
The 33-year-old cricketer had added: \u201cI told them I will continue as ODI captain and Test captain. I told them at that point that if the office bearers or the selectors don\u2019t want me to handle either of the responsibility, I am fine with it. I said this clearly when I approached the BCCI to discuss my T20I captaincy.\u201d<\/p>\n
His comments came after Ganguly had stated that BCCI had requested Virat to not step down as the T20I skipper but he did not agree. \u201cAnd the selectors then did not feel it right to have two different captains for two white-ball formats,\u201d he had said.<\/p>\n
His comments triggered a massive controversy across the country, with Kohli fans still looking for answers from BCCI and Ganguly.<\/p>\n
The Virat Kohli-led Indian red-ball squad is in Johannesburg, South Africa, and will take on the Proteas in a three-match Test series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
