Sourav Ganguly’s BCCI disappointed fans and the game, not just Virat Kohli

Today, when Sourav Ganguly becomes the powerful BCCI chairman and leads a regime that can fire the biggest names in Indian cricket from the position of captain, it is worth remembering that he once stood on the other side of the road. Virat Kohli’s cruel and ungrateful dismissal Because India’s ODI captain coincides with Ganguly’s promotion to the post of Indian cricket boss, which is ironic. Ganguly was the last Indian captain to be kicked out of the captainship in any form of competition.

At that time, as everyone knows, Ganguly felt very wronged and used all his power to shape words that were beneficial to him. His media friends helped him. Those who celebrate every decision he made today during the presidency of BCCI, no matter how controversial these moves, are the ones who lobbyed them when his chips dropped and collectively saved his image, creating the head coach of the time. The story of Greg Chappell became a villain in our hearts.

They have benefited a lot from it. Enter the dressing room. The news that should have stayed in the team was leaked to these people. Their words at the time were very heavy and even threatened the team’s choice.It needs a person of integrity Ms. Donny As the captain, completely cut off the locker room from these external forces. The dressing room was sacred under Duny, it liberated the people who played under him.

However, since Sourav Ganguly returned in the 2019-20 Indian cricket match, these external influences have regained strength. A popular reporter claimed with puzzling accuracy the details of internal board discussions and understood what is happening now and in the future.

These people first raised the possibility of removing Kohli from the post of ODI captain, although he made it clear in September that he hoped to continue to participate in more than 50 games with Tests, and they proved to be correct. Obviously, they knew very early what was brewing against the Indian captain.

But even if this is imminent, how can BCCI claim to be a professional organization, because the most confidential information to be kept in its four walls has been known to the media in advance and spread through “sources”, misleading fans to panic and anger.

The dismissal of Virat Kohli shows the worst side of Sourav Ganguly and his BCCI regime

In addition to mismanagement and lack of transparency, improper communication in this area shows total disrespect and disregard for fans, who have caused an uproar on social media since the dismissal of Corley was made public in the most shameless way.

#ShameOnBCCI was at the top of the trend on Thursday, because BCCI’s thanks to Kohli’s tenure were limited to such a meaningless and thin post that the only thing that can be beaten today is the credibility of Sourav Ganguly and his regime. There is no press conference. There is no interpreter. Failure to properly communicate the cause and cause of the movement. What made BCCI and the selector think that Kohli could not continue to be the captain of ODI? When T20Is and ODI are so unique to each other, why do they think you need a white team captain? Fans should know, but never will.

Compared with Ganguly who was fired, Kohli has more reason to feel anxious. Although he won 68 victories in 95 games as the captain, he was denied the opportunity to lead the national team in the World Cup at home two years ago. Against the top 6 teams (excluding West Indies and Sri Lanka), this record is 31 wins and 21 losses. In these games, batsman Corley led the frontcourt, scoring a staggering 2,959 points with a score of 62.95 and a shooting percentage of 94.32.

This is an incredible record. This is in stark contrast to the situation where Ganguly was dismissed as captain and fired as a player. From the beginning to 2000 to the moment he was eliminated from the team, Ganguly averaged 31.80 points during the batting era against the top 8 test teams. During the same time period, his ODI record against teams other than Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and other teams is also very ordinary: an average of 33.88 and a strike rate of 75.

In the first pressure after taking over the team, Ganguly mentioned that he reached the semi-finals of the 2003 World Cup. This event perfectly summed up most of his ODI career after 2000. . Against Zimbabwe and his partner, he ran 250 times in 125 times and hit 82.78 from the field. But against the top eight teams, in six games, his average score dropped to a terrible 17.16 and 71.52.

In these six games, the great Sachin Tendulka averaged 50 points and a 91.74 field goal percentage. But the lasting memory of the Tendulka World Cup is his mistake against McGrath in the final. When the team needs him, Tendulkar’s inability to stand up is still a hot topic. No one questioned Ganguly’s contribution to the Indian team, and the fact that he was eliminated in the final will only be worse.

Ganguly has failed as a batsman for five consecutive years. His Indian ODI team has lost 60 games, and against the top 8 teams, they won only 45 of their 120 ODI games. However, in the public’s conscience and imagination, he is a cult founded by those who led India to greatness and those who were betrayed by Chapel.

We should not forget and forgive this cult now. It is based on false statements and narratives of external influences that continue to benefit from it at the expense of the game of cricket and its most ignored fans and today BCCI The disrespect of the Ganguly regime in China. These people have betrayed the fans and people like Kohli, and their contribution to Indian cricket is outstanding. He deserves better.
