Ravi Shastri has been blaming Saurav Ganguly for not getting selected as the India cricket coach. But it has emerged that Virat Kohli played a major role in Anil Kumble stepping into the role.
And Virat Kohli seems to have made a strictly professional choice in backing Anil Kumble.
Spinners,India ’s main bowling stay, have consistently failed to perform outside the subcontinent and Kohli wants Kumble to fix this problem, reports The Indian Express.
India has lost 15 overseas Tests over the last five years largely due to spinners failing to deliver.
Early on, Virat Kohli had backed Ravi Shastri as well. He had said that Ravi Shastri’s experience would give his young team confidence. But he seem to have changed his stance after Anil Kumble entered the coaching race.
After Ravi Shastri was eliminated from the reckoning, it became a two-men contest between Anil Kumble and the Australian Tom Moody, who came with impressive coaching credentials.
Virat Kohli gave his feedback to Cricket Advisory Committee consisting of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, V V S Laxman and Sanjay Jagdale, which in turn recommended Anil Kumble’s name to BCCI.
A controversy erupted after Ravi Shastri complained that Sourav Ganguly was missing from the meeting in which he was interviewed for the job.
