What happened in the RCB vs DC match?
In the 18th over of the match, when RCB needed a wicket, Kohli, who was fielding near the Delhi dugout, took a brilliant catch. After taking this catch, Kohli glared at Sourav Ganguly and Ricky Ponting sitting in the DC dugout. At the same time, after the match, Kohli and Ganguly did not even shake hands. The videos of these two incidents have gone viral on social media.
The controversy between the two started when Sourav Ganguly was the BCCI president. At that time, Virat Kohli was the captain of the Indian team in all three formats. Kohli has decided to give up captaincy in the shorter format of cricket after the T20 World Cup in Dubai in 2021. After that BCCI also removed the captaincy of the ODI team from him.
After stepping down from the captaincy, Kohli said that he came to know about the announcement only a few hours before, contradicting Ganguly’s statement. This sparked a controversy.
After being dropped from the ODI captaincy, Kohli also relinquished the captaincy of the Test team after losing the Test series 1–2 in the tour of South Africa. After that, Rohit Sharma leads Team India in all three formats.
