'Utter disrespect': Twitter enraged at BCCI, Ganguly for 'sacking' Virat Kohli

[ShoonyaSifar]

On expected lines, Kohli PR is trending #ShameOnBCCI on twitter for sacking him from ODI captaincy. They should be trending #GratitudeToBCCI for keeping him in the test team and still letting him lead it.

 

I hope BCCI sacks him from test captaincy as well before the SA series.

Nautankibaaj abhi bhi drama kar rahaa hai. They would have sacked him before t20wc but he played politics by announcing that he will retire after World Cup and concentrate on his batting.

 

This is the way he is concentrating on batting.

 

If media reports are to be believed, Shashtri himself resigned because he couldn’t take anymore tantrums of Kohli.

Kohli's achievements as ODI captain :

I would be interested in his average in the final game of every major tournament for India since 2015.

 

I dont recall any captain's knock, definitely maybe 2-3 meaningful innings at most.

Right. It is silly to think he only resigned T20I captaincy but wanted to remain as ODI captain. Does not make any practical sense at all.

He wanted a home world cup to win. Now he won't get that.

Wow... GanguTeli is a bigger Machiavellian than Kohli can ever be

Why is Ganguly lying?

[sensible-indian]

Why the heck would BCCI request Kohli to not step down from T20s?

 

You sack him.

 

Good.

 

Have the balls to admit it.

 

Why pussyfooting around?

#ShameonBCCI trending at no.1

There's more to come.

 

Kohli’s now without the captaincy in white-ball cricket. That Rohit has also been elevated as vice-captain for Test matches, replacing the struggling Ajinkya Rahane – who is in the Test squad nonetheless – shows that Kohli has been put on captaincy notice in the 5-day format too, his excellent record notwithstanding. The upcoming 3-Test series against South Africa is not just another bilateral series. There are serious ramifications attached to it for Indian cricket and some individuals going ahead.

Fair enough and agree that Kohlis time is up but the baffling decision is replacing him with an older, unfit, equally incompetent guy in Rohit who couldn’t take the best T20 team to even the playoffs and was embarrassed before reaching knock out stage

from the above - no thank you note

Some unconfirmed reports said that the BCCI gave Kohli 48 hours to relinquish the ODI captaincy on his own, and took the step to replace him when this was not forthcoming. In the absence of any explanation in the press release or subsequently, the truth value of these stories could not be ratified.

 

Such bizarre ultimatums are hardly the norm and unlikely. However, given the icy tenor of the press release, one can assume a certain level of disenchantment in the BCCI with Kohli, though this still does not justify the absence of a simple thank you on his marvellous achievements as ODI captain. In fact, this is rank bad form on the part of the establishment.

Kohli should be sacked from Test team as well. He is going to bring lot of negative vibes for everyone. Moreover he is trying to hide behind Pujara and Rahane, so no one can pay attention to his form. It’s time for clean start and look at future.

What most likely Ganguly meant was selectors asked Kohli to quit from both T20 and ODI captancies and not just T20 captaincy

[cricketfan28]

IMO, BCCI has done right thing. There is no reason to sack Kohli as test captain as he has done okish in Test arena. He should continue to lead there and play purely as bat under Rohit and Rohits philosophy. He is a great bat and if we win some trophy under Rohit with white ball cricket and him giving his best, That will redeem himself as leading a cricket mad nations team in all three formats is tough job

The reason Rohit is now VC is most likely to mitigate the dirty tricks our Kohli has been playing. ie dropping the batsmen/players specially bats. With this one moove, BCCI has ensured that he can not drop Rohit from test team now.

Rohit is ranked above Kohli in test cricket rankings. Kohli won't dare to touch him. Sensing his growing stature, he tried to sabotage him by talking to the selectors about appointing a younger vice captain.
