Something quite bizarre and fishy seems to be brewing between India’s Test captain Virat Kohli and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). It all began with BCCI President Sourav Ganguly claiming that he and the selectors had personally requested Virat Kohli not to step down as T20 captain. Kohli, however, came up with a rebuttal at an explosive press conference and stated that no one from the BCCI had ever spoken to him. However, it did not end there. Chairman of Selectors Chetan Sharma, while announcing the team for the ODIs, backed Ganguly and said that the BCCI did speak to Kohli and claimed that everyone was shocked with Kohli’s announcement of stepping down. Amid this, Kohli pulled out of the Johannesburg Test on the eve of the match, citing ‘back spasms.’ Here are a few observations that conclude that all might not be well between Virat Kohli and BCCI.
