BCCI claim ‘inaccurate’: Virat takes swipe at Dada

New Delhi/Mumbai: There were whispers of a discord and on Wednesday the simmering tension between BCCI and Test skipper Virat Kohli was out in the open when the superstar batter dismissed as “inaccurate”, the Board’s claim that it tried to persuade him against giving up T20 leadership.

One of the country’s most decorated cricketers of all time, Kohli also said that he was informed about his removal as ODI captain earlier this month by chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma, “only one and a half hours before the Test team for South Africa was announced”. —(PTI)
