Ganguly did not favor Rohit, but didn't like Kohli: BCCI Chief Selector on why Kohli lost captaincy
New Delhi: The newly brought to light, Zee News sting operation involving chief selector Chetan Sharma has left everyone stunned as the former player made some very serious allegations that could leave Indian cricket in a rocky place.
In the sensational sting operation that will likely change the dynamics of Indian cricket going forward, Chetan Sharma claimed that there was a huge clash of ego between former Indian skipper Virat Kohli and former BCCI President Sourav Ganguly.
The chief selector revealed that Sourav Ganguly was never a fan of Virat Kohli’s work and was one of the driving forces behind his removal as the national captain.
“Virat Kohli felt he lost the captaincy because of BCCI President. There were 9 people in the selection committee video conference, Ganguly may have told him ‘think about it once’. I think Kohli didn’t hear it, there were 9 others there including myself and all other selectors, BCCI officials – Kohli might not have heard him.”
“Ganguly did not favor Rohit but he never liked Virat. You can put it in this way. The press conference ahead of the IND vs SA series where Virat Kohli revealed that he was told 1.30 hours before the declaration that he will be leaving the captaincy was unnecessary. He just wanted to get back at Sourav that’s why he did it.”4
The sting operation has created a lot of buzzes and this could change a lot of dynamics for Indian cricket in the coming days. Fans are absolutely stunned by the news that has emerged and it will be really serious to see the approach BCCI takes with the emerging news.

Power of organisation: Digvijaya creates flutter ahead of CWC meet by sharing Modi's picture
New Delhi (PTI): Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh on Saturday lauded the organisational power of RSS-BJP as he shared Narendra Modi's old picture and said how a grassroots worker went on to become the chief minister and prime minister by sitting at the feet of their leaders.
The remarks that created a flutter came ahead of the crucial Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting that decided on its agitational plan against the scrapping of MGNREGA from January 5.
Sources said Singh also raised the issue of strengthening the Congress organisation at the grassroots level, saying it was much needed in the fight against the ruling BJP and to oust it from power.
Singh, however, backtracked saying he only talked about the organisation and its strength and not the BJP or the RSS as he was staunchly against the two.
"Quora site. It is very impressive. In what way did the grassroots 'swayamsevak' of RSS and the worker of Jan Sangh @BJP4India sat on the floor at the feet of leaders and became the Chief Minister of the state and the Prime Minister of the country. This is the power of the organization. Jai Siya Ram," Singh said in a post in Hindi on X.
Congress leaders did not take any questions from the media at the press briefing after the CWC.
"In fact, I praised the party organisation. You people have misunderstood things. I am a staunch opponent of the BJP and the RSS," Singh clarified on his post after the meeting.
