The “tussle” between Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly and former ODI captain Virat Kohli has also created a buzz on Twitter.
After the announcement of Kohli’s removal as ODI captain, he made some “revelations”. During a press conference on Wednesday, Kohli refuted Ganguly’s claim that Kohli was consulted before the captaincy decision was made by the board. He even denied that Ganguly had requested Kohli to continue as T20I captain.
Ganguly later avoided questions on the matter and said, “I have got nothing to say. We will deal with it, leave it to the BCCI.”
Netizens reacted strongly after that. While one section of Twitter users took the side of former India skipper Sourav Ganguly, another showered support for Virat Kohli. The numerous tweets led to the hashtags #WorldStandsWithKohli and #NationStandsWithDada trending on Twitter.
However, the hashtag involving Kohli received more tweets and here are a few examples:
Amid this controversy, Virat Kohli and his Test team departed for their South Africa tour in a chartered plane from Mumbai on Thursday morning.
