Sourav Ganguly must be requested why there’s a discrepancy: Sunil Gavaskar reacts to Virat Kohli’s feedback

Sunil Gavaskar reacted to Virat Kohli’s explosive claims relating to lack of communication throughout a press convention, saying BCCI president Sourav Ganguly might be the perfect particular person to ask in regards to the discrepancy in what he stated and what the Indian Test captain stated.

Virat Kohli highlighted the dearth of communication with the BCCI over the style through which he was sacked as ODI captain on the day the 18-man squad for the Test sequence in South Africa (beginning December 26) was introduced.In an explosive press convention earlier within the day, Test captain Kohli contradicted BCCI president Sourav Ganguly’s assertion relating to the T20I captaincy. Ganguly had stated that that they had requested Kohli to not give up the T20I captaincy however he didn’t agree.Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, in his first press convention after the captaincy change, identified that he wasn’t requested to rethink his resolution of leaving the T20I captaincy and it was acquired very effectively by the BCCI.”I think it (Kohli’s comments) actually doesn’t bring the BCCI into the picture. I think it’s the individual who has to be asked where he got the impression he had conveyed such a message to Kohli. So that’s the only thing. Yes, he is the BCCI president and surely he should be asked why there is this discrepancy. He is probably the best person to ask about the discrepancy in what you seem to have to say and what the Indian captain has said,” Sunil Gavaskar advised India Today.A very good press launch is sufficient.”Yes, it always helps to have a clear line of communication so that there is no speculation. So from now, from what has happened, there should be a clear line of communication and the chairman of the selection committee can come down and say why he has been picked and why he has not been picked. Sometimes, even if that is not needed, a press release is also good enough. A good press release giving all the reasons makes life a lot easier,” Gavaskar added.The Chairman of the choice committee advised him, it’s completely okay.”As long as it’s not something that he has not found out from the media or as it happened in the past that the commander of a passenger flight announced it, I think he has been told by the chairman of the selection committee that he is not going to be the captain, I think that is absolutely okay,” Gavaskar additional stated.”I don’t know what these people wanted to do. As long as there has been communication between the chairman of selection and him, it’s the decent thing to do. Over there, what the conversation was, I am not aware. Maybe the chairman of the selection committee also said ‘thank you so much,” Gavaskar concluded.
