Rahane, Pujara Called up Jay Shah from England over Kohli’s Captaincy: Report

[Ankit_sharma03]

India’s World Test championship final loss to New Zealand earlier this year seems to have proved to be a big game-changer for team India and skipper Virat Kohli as it is being reported that at least two senior batters had rung up BCCI secretary Jay Shah expressing their reservations over Kohli’s captaincy. The two in question are Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara – who had a forgettable match against New Zealand - and coped a lot of criticism over their performances. Pujara in particular was targeted for his lack of intent with the bat. Pujara made 8 off 54 balls in the first innings and 15 off 80 in the second, while Rahe scored 49 off 117 in the first and 15 off 40 in the second.

After the loss Kohli had said in a post-match presser, “The mindset has to be to score runs and find ways to score runs. You can’t be too worried about getting out because you are [then] bringing the bowler into the game completely," and had later pulled up both Pujara and Rahane after India were bundled out for 170 on the final day, losing their last eight wickets for just 99 runs. NZ were set a target of 139 and they cantered home with eight wickets in hand.

 

According to a report in the New Indian Express, Pujara and Rahane dialed up Shah after Kohli’s dressing down to discuss his captaincy and the BCCI decided to step in. After the call from the two senior players, BCCI asked for feedback from other players in the team and decided to act on it after the tour got over. Kohli’s decision to step down as the T20I captain after the T20 World Cup later this year could very well be connected to this, even though he cited workload management and focus on his batting as the reasons for stepping down.

another day another story

[Suhaan]

Rahane,Pujara i thought they might have a Kohli statue on a pedestal to offer prayers at their residence

But as they say even closest of your acquaints abandon you when the ship sinks

 

Kohli himself accelerated his freefall,now its under influence

Rohit, Ashwin, Rahane, Pujara - Kohli PR camp in an overdrive to portray him as the victim.

If this is right , Kohli rightly deserved this. It  has been him  who kept on playing these 2 proven inadequacies in each and every match  with  out  testing  other  deserving candidates enough even in lesser important  matches.Only a poetic justice that these 2 of all players  would come against him

[dilliboy]

Sounds as BS a news story as there could be considering he backed them despite their horrendous form.. But of course its anti Kohli so ICF will lap it up 

[AuxiliA]

Why would Rahane and Pujara of all people revolt against Kohli? They are being backed by Kohli through thick and thin. Especially Rahane.

He picked them to avoid spotlight on his own poor batting form. Between the three, he had the worst average at one point. Because of these three useless batsmen, neither full batsman nor full bowler(overseas) Jadeja had to be picked, leaving out Ashwin. All three need to go.

Now this. We have reached Paxtan level of twists, turns, about turns and denials

 

No player complained about Virat Kohli to BCCI, either verbally or in writing - says BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal

My sources tell me that after those calls, Jay Shah called Kohli up. Couple of MCs and BCs later, Jay Shah hung up and ran to dad. He said, “Papa, it’s rough out there.” Just no stopping the Kohli juggernaut.

Arun dhamal is the same guy who claimed kohli will continue in all 3 formats and Kohli didn't have any captaincy discussion with BCCI, 2 days before kohli resigned 

 

Even the worst sources are better than this guy
