“I was slightly surprised. I was reading a line that truth can be stranger than fiction, that’s exactly how it has happened. Virat Kohli said he never asked for leave, the news had come that he had asked for leave even before Rohit Sharma was named the captain. I mean this is a communication breakdown. Who is doing this and why is somebody doing this?,” Chopra added.
Lastly, Virat Kohli’s request was previously denied by the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s treasurer Arun Dhumal. The limited-overs captaincy being awarded to Rohit Sharma had nothing to do with it. It was decided before it was made. Kohli expressed his desire to continue as India’s ODI captain, according to Chopra. The final decision rested with the selectors.
