Ganguly said - won the Asia Cup without Virat; This is an example of the strength of our team

The BCCI has replaced Virat Kohli with Rohit Sharma as the new captain of the ODI team. Now BCCI President Sourav Ganguly has given a big statement regarding Rohit Sharma. Talking to News18, Dada said, 'In the Asia Cup (2018) played a few years ago, the team got victory under the captaincy of Rohit, Virat Kohli was not in that team. The team won without Kohli, it shows how strong our team was under Rohit's captaincy.

Ganguly further said, 'Rohit Sharma is a great captain only then the selectors have entrusted him with this responsibility. He will take the team a long way. Under his captaincy, the Mumbai team has won the title five times in the IPL. Rohit has led his team to victory in the big tournament. They have a great team and hopefully Team India will achieve a lot of success going forward.

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly told ANI a few days ago, 'The decision to make Rohit the captain has been taken jointly by the BCCI and the selectors. The BCCI had asked Virat not to give up the captaincy of T20, but he did not agree.Ganguly had further said, "The selectors believed that there should not be two different captains in the limited overs format. Hence this decision was taken. Now Virat will remain the Test captain and Rohit will take over the command of ODI, T20.

After Virat's removal from the captaincy, BCCI and Sourav Ganguly are being trolled fiercely on social media. Let us inform that the board had given 48 hours ultimatum to Kohli to resign from the captaincy of ODIs. When there was no response, the board itself removed him from this post.
