Mumbai, Dec 15: Indian test skipper Virat Kohli said on Wednesday that, there is no rift between me and Rohit Sharma, amid speculations of a rift between the two cricketers.
Talking about the captaincy, he said that no prior communication happened between him and the selectors before he was removed as the captain of the ODI team.
“My communication with the BCCI hasn’t happened & I wanted to rest. I was contacted 1.5 hours before the meeting. There was no communication. Chief selector discussed the Test team. The 5 selectors told me I will not be ODI captain. Which is fine,” said Kohli in a Press Conference.
Notably, Rohit Sharma was named as India’s new ODI skipper last week and he takes the reins from Kohli as India gear up for the South Africa series.
Virat Kohli also asserted that he never wanted a break in between the South Africa tour and was always available for the ODI series.
“I am available for selection and was available for selection. As far as I am concerned, I am always available for selection. I am available for ODIs and I was always keen to play,” said Kohli.
