Kohli also had a fallout with then-BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, and there were reports that the board chief was also present in selection meetings throughout his tenure. It has been over a year since then, and Shastri has finally opened up on the selection meetings that used to take place during his tenure. From what I gather, there were a lot of people over the last 3-4 years inside the selection meetings, who were not supposed to be there. Ganguly left his role as BCCI President in October last year with Roger Binny succeeding the former captain in the role. Rohit Sharma, meanwhile, assumed full-time captaincy in all formats last year before Hardik Pandya began to lead the Indian team in T20Is since the start of 2023.
