Virat Kohli-Sourav Ganguly controversy

Everyone is aware of the controversy between former captain Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly. There was a lot of uproar over the press conference that Virat Kohli held as captain before leaving for South Africa tour. After the claim made by Virat Kohli in this, Sourav Ganguly wanted to send him a show cause notice.
Kohli had ruled out any talks with Ganguly about leaving the T20I captaincy after the BCCI chief said that he had asked Kohli to stay on as the captain of the Men in Blue in the shortest format of the game.
Whatever happened within Indian cricket with the BCCI during the time of Jay Shah and Ganguly created a negative image of Indian cricket on the world stage.
We will have to wait and see whether Ganguly and Jay Shah leave after their tenure ends or whether they get an extension, as fans are speculating, given Ganguly’s ties with the Shah family.
