Virat Kohli's stunning revelations in press conferences: From MS Dhoni message to BCCI miscommunication claim

India Today  

"I lead my life with a lot of honesty," Virat Kohli said after dropping another bombshell after India's 5-wicket loss to Pakistan in their Asia Cup 2022 Super Four match on Sunday, September 5. Kohli's comments about having respect for a 'true well-wisher like MS Dhoni came days after he had said playing under his former captain was the most cherished phase of his cricket career. CHETAN SHARMA'S REFUTAL While the BCCI dismissed Kohli's comments about not being kept in the loop over the captaincy saga, India national chief selector Chetan Sharma also said that the selection panel and a few officials from the BCCI urged Kohli to continue as T20I captain "for the sake of Indian cricket". All selectors felt at that time that this could affect the World Cup, all selectors felt this could have been dealt with after the tournament," Chetan Sharma said, while refuting Kohli's claims.
