'People forgot that I had said this to Rohit Sharma…', Team India's 'Dada' gave a befitting reply to the critics

Former Team India captain and former President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Sourav Ganguly has given a befitting reply to his critics. Ganguly, known as the patriarch of Team India, slammed those who criticized Ganguly for making Rohit Sharma the captain of Team India.

Ganguly took the decision

After the T20 World Cup 2021, Virat Kohli had decided to leave the captaincy of the T20 format, but due to the controversy that followed, Kohli also left the captaincy of the remaining two formats. After Kohli left the captaincy, BCCI made Rohit Sharma the captain.

This decision was taken when he was the President of BCCI

Sourav Ganguly was the BCCI president at that time. His decision to take away the captaincy from Virat Kohli and hand it over to Rohit Sharma was heavily criticized. Ganguly has now once again given a controversial statement on this issue and has asked his critics to focus on the success of the Indian team under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. Ganguly said that under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, India celebrated the victory of the T20 World Cup 2024, but everyone forgot that it was me who made Rohit the captain of the Indian team.

What did Sourav Ganguly say?

Sourav Ganguly said, “When I handed over the captaincy of the Indian team to Rohit Sharma, everyone criticized me. Now that India has won the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, everyone has stopped criticizing me. I think everyone has forgotten this thing.” I was the one who appointed him as the captain of the Indian team.
