Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly gave his opinion on the comparisons between Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Australia's Steve Smith.
The BCCI Ethics Officer D.K. Jain has made it clear to the board that former India skipper Sourav Ganguly has tractable conflict and must relinquish his interests and must not continue in more than one position.
Abhimanyu Easwaran is the new Bengal captain and with consistent knocks at the top of the order, he is very much in contention for a place in the national side in Test cricket.
Sourav Ganguly had said earlier that Rohit is too good a player to sit on the bench and with Rahul struggling, India should look at Rohit to find a solution at the top of the order.
Sourav Ganguly felt that fixing the problem with the opening slot is the need of the hour for India in longest format of the game.
R Ashwin also attracted interest from Sunrisers Hyderabad but talks didn't materialise and Delhi Capitals have taken the lead ahead of others.
Ashwin led KXIP for a couple of seasons without much success and there has been news that the Preity Zinta co-owned franchise is ready to trade him off.
Sourav Ganguly has come out in support of MS Dhoni and stressed on the importance in communication between Virat Kohli and the wicketkeeper-batsman on his future with Team India.
Kohli has faced some criticism in the past over his team-selection policy and some on-field decisions but Ganguly thinks that Kohli is getting better and better.
A win in the second Test, starting at Sabina Park on Friday, will take Virat Kohli's number of Test victories as captain to 28 - the most by any Indian captain.
Sourav Ganguly said that India need to prepare for life without him while Dhoni needs to evaluate where he stands.
Virat Kohli and co. rewrote history when the side registered its biggest-ever away win, and the Indian captain also broke Sourav Ganguly's record with the victory.
In the past, the Indian team has caused raised eyebrows when they left out regulars like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane for more aggressive options.
Indian captain Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane steered India's innings after the early blows in the second innings, and in the process, also surpassed Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly for a Test feat.
