'Virat Kohli like my son. Why would I…': Ex-BCCI selector on controversial 'Kohli vs Ganguly ego clash' revelation

Hindustan Times  

Former BCCI chairman of selectors Chetan Sharma has addressed his controversial statements on Virat Kohli that were captured during the infamous sting operation conducted on him. About a year ago, Sharma found himself caught in a sting operation where he revealed inside stories including the 'ego clash' that took place between Kohli and former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly. The Virat Kohli vs Sourav Ganguly chapter was pretty stressful in Indian cricket A year later, Sharma has taken a U-turn from the statements made on Kohli, addressing the former India captain as his own son and pointing out that he never meant anything bad for Virat or harboured any ill feelings towards him. Rohit finished the World Cup as its second-highest scorer with 597 runs at an average of 54.27, including three fifties and a century, next only to Kohli's record breaking 765-run tournament.
