Ravichandran Ashwin Revolted Against Virat Kohli And Complained To The BCCI- Reports

[nevada]

So the senior player who was scolded for lacking intent is not Pujara but Ashwin.

 

Virat Kohli’s decision of giving up the T20I captaincy after the T20 World Cup was caused by a revolt led by spin bowler Ravichandran Ashwin as media reports suggest.  Just days after India’s T20 World Cup squad was announced, Kohli came with a shocking announcement that he would give up the captaincy for India in the shortest format of the game. According to a report by news agency IANS, a senior player had complained to the BCCI secretary against Virat Kohli for making him feel insecure in the team.  The Indian skipper had reportedly accused the player of not showing enough intent in the World Test Championship final against New Zealand in June this year.  In the report, it is mentioned that some of the sources have mentioned that the player was Tamil Nadu off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.  This matter looks more serious if the reports turn out to be true as Ashwin was benched in all the four-Test matches against England in the pending five-Test series. If the sources in the report are to be believed then Kohli had a fallout with the selectors for the inclusion of Ashwin in the T20 World Cup squad as the Indian captain wanted leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for the mega event.

Ashwin has guts.. have to appreciate him when all others are meek around Lohli.  I for one would want Lohli relieved of all captaincy as we need him more as a batsman

 

 

[ash]

Ashwin was the only bowler who showed some intent in the WTC final, so not sure if he is the one that Virat complained about. 

[The Realist]

The fact that Old Man Kohli wants Chahal is enough to strip anyone of captaincy. Kohli really is a bitter, insecure and petty person - not characteristics you want in any captain.

So what did Ashwin revolt for? Was it because he wasn’t picked in Test series? If so, sounds selfish

If Virat is World Class , so too Ash is World class . If we count no. of matches won & drawn in last 2 years , Ash's contribution would be more than Virat. 

He and Rohit should also be equally treated along with Virat  by the Board.  Its is not Selfish its self Respect. 

Not sure how intent was missing in WTC by Ash ?   One should look at the contribution by ASH & VK in WTC. 

This Arrogant prick feels insecure and  players equal to his stature won't accept his brash attitude . Its only a matter of time others like Rohit, Pant , Surya,   also  join Ash.

That is not the point. There is no guaranteed place for 2 spinners in Eng. If Ashwin is revolting for not being included, he is implying either that 2 spinners should be playing or he should be chosen over Jadeja, both of these are unnecessary discussion 

 

Selectors too were unhappy when Ind played 2 spinners in the WTC final 

 

“The website added that the BCCI top brass has been discussing the issue since India's loss to New Zealand in the World Test Championship final in England, where they were reportedly unhappy with the Indian skipper's team selection. Kohli had played two spinners in seamer-friendly and overcast conditions during the WTC final.”

Kaltaan didn't do any wrong here by not playing two spinners against England,we actually led 2-1 by doing so

 

It was never needed,Ashwin could have only played replacing Jadeja

Bumrah looked fresh due to sharing of workload and we saw it in his spells

Siraj out of Lords didn't pick that many wickets but very well took control of proceedings in rest of the tests, maintaining pressure from both ends is necessary

England is not the place for two spinners unless you have two Warnes

 

[rangeelaraja]

Super proud of Ashwin - he has far more character in his spinning finger than Virat has shown in his lifetime. 
 

I only wish Ashwin the brilliant mind also told the BCCI secretary if Virats own  selection was based on performance or on captaincy and why there were different standards.

 

Virat owes huge debt of gratitude to Ashwin for his test record as captain. 
 

characterless individual.

Tbf in Indian Cricket rumours almost always tend to be true. Only for PR spin do people come out and refute them on occasions

 Trigger looks  more of  the reason given of lack of intent in WTC & the treatment being meted out  .

What unfair treatment is being melted out? Not being picked is not an unfair treatment.

[cricketfan28]

too much masala causes bloating.

[vvvslaxman]

Kohli not selecting Ashwin for oval test was a big red flag. One can give excuse for other Tests.  You can say end justifies the means. But 4 seamers was an overkill. Siraj bagged one wicket.  Thakur did more with bat than ball. It was all Bumrah.

[Ankit_sharma03]

Another day another story 

[Vilander]

It's not even the usual 'sources said' it's now 'as media reports' 

 

Which media bhai? Your own article lol. 

 

There is an article in a two bit Internet site and nice followup from icf.

[Vilander]

Some major mafia or lobby does not want Kohli to continue as captain, that much is evident from all these as media reports article.

.. your prayers are answered icf.

I have never heard of IANS before so I'm gonna assume its credibility is on shaky grounds unless proven otherwise. Good masala in the article. Will help in ICFers mentally speculate on things. At least, they threw in that line (maybe to not get sued by Kohli or Ashwin). Nothing to see here folks.

Ashwin was always on good terms with Kohli and Kohli had said nothing untoward towards Ashwin. Even if Ashwin or Rohit have some differences with Kohli, its always in the dressing room or with BCCI if there was a complaint. Nothing of this sort is ever revealed to the press. Even the whole Dravid-Tendulkar thing was played up by the media and so is this one. Don't become paxtan all of a sudden
