Cricket News Desk. After a long time, former captain Sourav Ganguly has come to the media, so he has been making big revelations for the last few days. Now everyone knows that Virat Kohli also gave up the captaincy of the Test after the defeat in South Africa tour in 2022. At the same time, Virat was removed from the ODI captaincy before the all -time controversies that took place a few months ago.

Sourav was then the BCCI president and had said that when Virat left the captaincy from this format after being out of the early stages of the T20 World Cup, he did not want different captains in the white ball format. After this, the entire cricket world saw the Ganguly-Kohli controversy which became one of the most popular controversies in Indian history.

Ganguly said that BCCI wanted to keep Kohli captain in the Test. At the same time, Rohit was also hesitant to captain. Now for the first time, Ganguly said openly on the controversy and said, ‘It is natural that you keep the same captain in the format of the white ball. Both ODI and T20 format. We needed a Test captain because Virat was a Test captain till then, but after the tour of South Africa, he decided to leave the captaincy. The former captain said, ‘I have always believed that Rohit is a good captain. In such a situation, the board requested him. Initially he was reluctant because of his charge. I remember that I talked to him whether he does not want to finish his career without captaining India in Tests.

Ganguly said, ‘He is a person who molds himself according to the situation and his nature is friendly. If you talk to them, he will agree. Now who would not want to captain India? Discussed several issues with Rohit. Meet the players and talked to them.
