Virat Kohli, the captain of Indian cricket team, has become the target of many after India lost the final of ICC Champions Trophy against Pakistan and after the head coach of the team, Anil Kumble, resigned. As the legendary leg-spinner made it clear that the captain was not happy with him, Kohli was slammed by great names of Indian cricket including Sunil Gavaskar.
BCCI has extended the date for sending applications for the post of coach and former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri has shown interest in the same. This is not a secret that Shastri and Kohli share a good bond and the latter will prefer the former as a coach rather than any other applicant. Shastri has served as the team director from 2014 to 2016 and he was also in the race for the post of coach but Kumble was selected. It is said that the person behind Ravi Shastri’s rejection was former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly.
Twitter users were already upset with Virat Kohli because of the way Kumble was made to resign and with this news of Ravi Shastri applying for the coach, their anger just exploded. We have brought some selected tweets for you:
