Some shocking revelations about what’s going on with Team India and the BCCI have been made by BCCI Chief Selector Chetan Sharma. He also discussed a number of well-known figures in Indian cricket, such as Sourav Ganguly and the late BCCI president Virat Kohli. He was the focal point of the Zee News’ most recent undercover operation.
Chetan Sharma discussed the conflict between Sourav Ganguly, the former BCCI president, and Virat Kohli, the then-Indian captain. Chetan Sharma claimed that there were “ego issues” in the relationship between Kohli and Ganguly. According to Chetan Sharma, Kohli believed that he was “bigger than the board.”
“When the player becomes popular, he considers himself to be bigger than the board and thinks that nobody can touch him. He feels that cricket in India would stop without him. But has that ever happened? Some of our biggest cricket stars came and went, but cricket remained the same. So, he (Kohli) tried to hit back at the (former) president at that time. It was a damaging controversy. It was a classic case of a player going against the BCCI. The president represents the BCCI, isn’t it? As to whose fault it was, that will be judged in time, but it was an attack on the BCCI. All our players are discouraged from doing this because the loss will be theirs as everyone will go against them, even if the president is at fault. There has to be some respect for the chair,” Chetan said during the sting operation.
