Although Virat Kohli clarified everything in a pre-departure press conference ahead of his South African tour on Wednesday in Mumbai, it is still unlikely to stop the drama that has continued in Indian cricket for the past couple of months. It is déjà vua in many ways.
The chaotic times of 2005, when Sourav Ganguly was separated from captain and then head coach Greg Chappell, were painted (somewhat unfairly) the only frog that destroyed the fabrics of Indian cricket. The maturity and sensitivity of the new captain Rahul Dravid then handled that turbulent period with maturity and grace.

By the way, both Ganguly and Dravid are in the picture again, though not directly, but they could and could have played a much bigger role in resolving this unnecessary controversy. Indian cricket was expected of Dada more than Dravid, who has just started as a new coach. Ganguly himself had gone through all that Kohli might now feel, but on both occasions the role of the governing body, the BCCI, has not changed, which is to remain a dumb spectator when there seems to be a great clash of egos ahead. the eyes of the audience.
Sometimes it might even seem like this new controversy isn’t bothering anyone and simply blaming the “media imagination” for it, everyone is enjoying the daily episode of the new soap opera.
Because BCCI still doesn’t believe in professional communication between all stakeholders in the game, we always find these “sources close to BCCI top officials,” “multiple sources in government,” and “post-development” references to cricket reporting far more common than it was a decade ago. In an era unless you’re Dravid, every Ram, Rahim, Rambo, and Ranjit has a social media account with a decent number of followers, and every speculation can be combated in a minute, but no one does.

There are two main aspects to this new “controversy” between two high-profile cricketers of this generation. The first is Rohit Sharma’s femoral injury, which has virtually excluded him from the test series, and this has been officially confirmed by the BCCI. Even if Rohit hated Kohl, would it be so unwise for a moment to skip a high-profile series pretending to be injured?
More than Kohli or anyone else, the loss is only to Rohit. He just had an excellent series in England where he was opening. Not only was he making the first hundred abroad in his career, but the way he struck was long awaited and deserved praise from everyone. So if you’re Rohit Sharma, you want to strengthen your shape abroad and start a great start, especially in a country like South Africa, where his average is around 15.

It won’t be shocking if some of Rohit’s haters might even point out that it was precisely because of this lousy record in South Africa that he could only come up with an excuse. Nothing can be ruled out at such a toxic time, which unfortunately is also coming to our beloved sport.
Anyway, is Rohit, who has just got Deputy Captain Ajinkya Rahanen (who has been Kohl’s deputy for almost five years) and is also ready to get the role of Red Ball captain in the future, doing something so absurd to harm his own cause in the eyes of the coach or the board? So this conspiracy theory that Rohit intentionally skips test series just because Kohl isn’t going to be the first Indian captain to win a test series in South Africa shouldn’t convince anyone at all.
Now the other side of this controversy is saying that Kohli is so upset about the loss of the ODI captain that he, too, wants to show up on the board that it really hasn’t gone with him. Kohli may be offended by the way he was fired by the board, but he can never be so shy that he would jeopardize his team’s interest.
The strange and interesting point about the whole Kohli section is that one set of media claims (of course quoting invisible BCCI sources) that the skipper has requested a vacation during the ODI series and other camps refute the claim equally and furiously. because the apparent reason for her supposed break, which is her daughter’s first birthday, is not the same as with the ODI series but with the Test series.

If Kohli is going to take a break for any reason, he may have the right to do so because he has been serving Indian cricket for more than a decade. Even if he decides to prioritize his family responsibilities over his duty to Indian cricket, that’s still great, as we’ve seen him do the same as a captain while taking a break during the birth of his child in 2020, when India played high. profile series in Australia. It has nothing to do with the fact that Rohit is the new ODI captain.
At the same time, however, it can be argued that since there is a week-long break between the Test and ODI series and the three-match white ball series ends in just five days, it may be possible for Kohli to rethink. on their holiday trip. The schedule for the South Africa series has already been revised as there are now no T20 matches on this cut-off trip.
In the midst of the headlines of all this discussion on social media and mainstream media platforms, whether he wants to or not, everyone must always remember that, after all, it’s about caring about the interests of the Indian cricket team and not the interests of any individual. or he can be. This is the Indian cricket team, not the Kohl or Rohit team. In order to win, Indian cricket is no longer dependent on great people like Sachin Tendulkar, as in the early 1990s.
