New Delhi. After the sting of the chief selector of the Indian team, Chetan Sharma, there has been a stir in the cricket world. In the sting of Zee News, Chetan Sharma called former Indian captain Virat Kohli a liar. From handing over the captaincy to Rohit Sharma in white-ball cricket after Virat, he also spoke openly on the dispute between Virat Kahli and the then BCCI President Sourav Ganguly. Chetan Sharma clearly said that Sourav Ganguly hated the former captain.
Chetan Sharma said, “Any dispute between a player and the BCCI is dangerous as it creates a player versus BCCI situation. Who was wrong on the whole issue is discussed later. This is a direct attack on BCCI. It has been made clear to all the cricketers that in such a situation the loss will be only for them.
The chief selector said, “Virat Kohli feels that his captaincy went because of the BCCI president. There were a total of 9 more members in the video conference of the selection committee. Sourav Ganguly had clearly told him to think once before leaving the captaincy. I think he didn’t pay attention to it. Apart from me, nine other people were also in the meeting. All these were selectors or people associated with BCCI.

Chetan Sharma said, “The press conference was about the team before leaving for the South Africa tour. I don’t know why he brought up the issue of Virat’s captaincy. Perhaps he did this intentionally. The truth is that Kohli was lying. Ganguly told him to think about it. No one knows why Virat lied. This became a controversy. It was made board vs player.
Why did he tell this lie? Perhaps he is feeling that Sourav Ganguly has played an important role behind his captaincy in white ball cricket. “Can’t say that the selectors supported Rohit Sharma. We were only against Virat Kohli. Don’t say that Sourav Ganguly supported Rohit. You can say that Sourav was against Virat”
