helperononline Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Ganguly Wanted To Issue Show Cause Notice To Kohli After His Presser Outburst Sourav Ganguly, in what could have been an unprecedented move in the history of Indian cricket, had prepared a draft letter and also discussed the matter with the BCCI members TWO OF the biggest names in Indian cricket – Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli – have not been on the best of terms is clear from the developments in the last couple of months. India Ahead has learnt that Ganguly, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President, even wanted to issue a show cause notice to the then Test captain Kohli before the series against South Africa began in December 2021. The notice was to be issued for Kohli’s emotional outburst against the establishment after he was removed as captain of the One Day International (ODI) team during a press conference before the team’s departure for South Africa in December 2021. After losing the South Africa series, Kohli decided to quit as Test captain, and before announcing it, he even called the BCCI secretary Jay Shah. But Kohli didn’t bother to call Ganguly, team sources told India Ahead on Thursday. It is understood that a convinced Ganguly, in what could have been an unprecedented move in the history of Indian cricket, had prepared a draft letter and also discussed the matter with the BCCI members. However, the board didn’t find it appropriate to issue a notice to the Test captain days before the series in the Rainbow nation. “And the board president was all for issuing a show cause notice to Kohli,” a source said. Eventually, the board didn’t issue the show cause notice to Kohli but one thing was certain at that stage, Kohli didn’t do anything good to his cause as a Test captain by speaking so boldly which has now snowballed into an unsavory episode. Kohli during the press conference in December 2021 also revealed that no one from the BCCI spoke to him after he decided to quit the T20 captaincy when in reality Ganguly had told him to hang in there till the T20 World Cup. The way Kohli spoke to the media days after his sacking as ODI captain also didn’t go down well with the BCCI. It eventually showed both BCCI and Ganguly in poor light as if the board took all team related decisions without taking Kohli into confidence. Sources said that along with Ganguly, BCCI secretary Jay Shah too had asked Kohli not to give up the T20 captaincy. Kohli, however, didn’t bother to take the suggestions from senior BCCI functionaries seriously. Responding to Kohli’s claim that no one got in touch with him after he left T20 captaincy on his own, Ganguly had said the board is looking into it. It is believed that Kohl’s press conference almost misconstrued the whole episode. Kohli is also the reason why Ganguly’s top choice as a member of the Cricket Advisory Committee Anil Kumble couldn’t stay for more than a year as the Indian cricket team head coach. That Kumble episode left such a bad taste that a few of the stalwarts were left debating whether it is right or wrong to clip Kohli’s wings as a leader. Eventually, India playing a series in South Africa could save Kohli from getting a show cause notice for challenging the hierarchy. “Now that Kohli’s time is over and he perhaps didn’t see this coming, which Ravi Shastri did,” another source added. Perhaps, the board should have asked him to stop captaining the team after he decided to quit as the T20I team leader. https://indiaaheadnews.com/cricket/exclusive-bcci-chief-sourav-ganguly-wanted-to-issue-show-cause-notice-to-virat-kohli-after-his-presser-outburst-96054/ Edited January 20, 2022 by helperononline
Pollack Posted January 20, 2022 Posted January 20, 2022 Is the news source trustworthy? Although the narrative does look believable.

I am siding with Kohli in this dramebaazi. Ganguly is more toxic personality than Kohli & he can go to any extent to avenge any kind of insult/comment/accusations directed at him, it's his nature. Kohli is gone for good & now time is absolutely right to throw this filthy politician Ganguly out of BCCI as well. afan and dilliboy 2
SK_IH Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) In this drama, I don't get one thing, suggestion to Kohli to continue as T20 captain? This was Ganguly's grand plan to improve Indian cricket? Edited January 21, 2022 by SK_IH raki05 1
Popular Post ShoonyaSifar Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) That would have been absolutely the right thing to do. Captain clown was extremely lucky to be on that flight to SA. First he missed the mini camp for SA, joined the team a day before departure and then tried to play the victim card. You cannot accuse your board chairman of being a liar and remain in the team. The destruction of the clown's cartel was always going to be a messy affair. Our CoA jokers didn't have the guts to touch that cartel which only centralised more power in the clown's hands. Gradually cutting him down to size and now his exit from all leadership positions is the first logical step towards building a healthier culture in our cricket. Ganguly's health issues have slightly slowed down the process but we'll get there in the next few months. Edited January 21, 2022 by ShoonyaSifar Norman, raki05, sorak and 12 others 2 3 1 8 1

ShoonyaSifar Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 BCCI should in fact have takes a strong action against the clown for his theatrics in the 3rd test of indirectly accusing SA of ball tampering.

This was Ganguly's grand plan to improve Indian cricket? Suggestion was not to step down just before WC tournament . If he wanted to leave captaincy he should have done giving atleast some time for the board & selectors to make transition plans for WC. Why people assume he was asked to carry on forever?

adi B Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Ganguly is the right man to lead the change in the ICT , who the hell had the guts to remove the toxic duo of kohli and shatri. Most of the top management would just lay down quietly to the BS of kohli ,but not this guy , nor anymore raki05, Suhaan and ShoonyaSifar 3

He didn't leave the captaincy before the tournament, he just announced he will leave it after the tournament, two different things. If Ganguly was serious about improving Indian cricket, he should have had the guts to sack him as captain prior to England T20 series at home.

He should now show some foresight & make bold decision of getting rid of Kohli the batsman as well from T20 cricket.If Rahul/Kohli/Rohit stay at top 3, the result will be the same.
afan Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Yeah...Greg Chappell almost had him by the scuff of his neck. They have got rid of Kohli, time to get rid of this ex cricketer as well Maybe he has got big plans for himself, definitely not for Indian cricket...atleast it does not look that way so far
dilliboy Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Kick this chewt Ganguly out of the board... Politician of the highest order

What was the hurry to do just before WC ? Does it help indian team while going into WC within days of announcement. If you have been captain for 7 years then there is a duty to see that your handing over also planned .
jf1gp_1 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Ganguly himself would have received a few if were the practice during his playing days.
