Sourav Ganguly Opens Up On Virat Kohli’s Captaincy Controversy

However, Ganguly has now made a significant revelation during a talk show. He clarified, “I did not remove Virat Kohli from captaincy. I had discussed this with him earlier. He didn’t want to captain in T20 internationals. After his decision, I suggested having separate captains for white-ball and red-ball cricket.”
Rohit Sharma Took Over The Captaincy From Virat Kohli
The T20 World Cup debacle prompted these changes, with Rohit Sharma taking over the ODI captaincy. Virat Kohli’s captaincy record was remarkable, leading India to the finals of the Champions Trophy and the semi-finals of the 2019 World Cup. However, the T20 World Cup brought unexpected challenges for the Indian team.
