Furious cricket fans have taken to social media to slam Sourav Ganguly as Wriddhiman Saha became the second player after Virat Kohli to expose the BCCI President. Saha had told media that Ganguly reneged on his promise after assuring him of a place in the Test squad.
“When I hit an unbeaten 61 taking a pain-killer in the first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur last November, Dadi (as Sourav was referred to by Bengal players) congratulated me over Whatsapp.
“He even mentioned that I should not worry about anything so long as he is at the helm of the BCCI. Such a message from the board president really boosted my confidence. But I failed to understand why everything changed so fast,” Saha was quoted by news agency PTI.
According to the Bengal player, even Team India Head Coach Rahul Dravid told him that he will not be considered for the national team henceforth and allegedly advised him to consider retirement.
He said, “The team management had told me that I would not be considered henceforth. I could not tell this so long as I was part of the India team setup.
“Even coach Rahul Dravid suggested that I think about taking retirement.”
Saha’s explosive revelations prompted fans to to take to social media to slam Ganguly who has been accused of forcing Kohli to quit the Test captaincy.
I am glad that Virat left his Captaincy he didn’t wanted to be a part of this inside politics that’s the reason he thought of giving up Captaincy and I am so proud of him that he didn’t twerked for Jay Shah and Ganguly my idol has high morals ♥♥

So it’s clear who was lying …As Saha Said Ganguly told him his place is confirm in India’s Test squad.
That means Chetan Sharma also lied in that press conferenceI think that was the reason why Virat Kohli resigned from India’s Test Captaincy

Earlier Kohli had held a fiery press conference just before the South Africa tour exposing Ganguly for his lies. He later stepped down from the Test captaincy after the 1-2 series defeat.
