Post Team India’s humiliating exit from the T20 World Cup 2022 and the wait for an ICC trophy extending furthermore, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has taken some key decisions. One of them came as a shocking move by the BCCI on Friday evening.
The BCCI on Friday invited applications for five positions in the National Selection Committee after sacking the Chetan Sharma-led committee. Notably, a similar incident took place post India’s exit from the group stage in the T20 World Cup last year. The then skipper Virat Kohli voluntarily stepped down from the captaincy role in the shortest format. He was then sacked from the ODI captaincy.
The Indian board is seeing a similar trend following the sacking of the five members of the National Selection Committee. With a lot happening in the board, Twitter users are having mixed reactions. Post the news of Chetan Sharma broke, Twitter was once again flooded with reactions. What grabbed a lot of attention was memes of Virat Kohli doing the rounds.
While some users cited the similar trend of Chetan Sharma-led committee sacking Kohli, they heaped praise of Kohli still standing tall, hoping he takes the captaincy reigns.
