For the unversed, in 2021, Virat Kohli was removed as ODI captain controversially after he stepped down as India's T20I captain. Sourav Ganguly had said at the time that the decision was taken by the selectors. He also added that they had requested Kohli to not leave the T20 captaincy.
"It's a call that the BCCI and the selectors took together. Actually, the BCCI had requested Virat to not step down as the T20I skipper, but he did not agree. And the selectors then did not feel it right to have two different captains for two white-ball formats," Ganguly had said.

However, in a scathing response, Kohli had clarified, denying Ganguly's claims, saying that no one ever spoke to him.
Kohli had said, "There was no prior communication with me at all since I announced the T20 captaincy decision until the 8th of December. I was told that the selectors had decided that I won’t be ODI captain to which I replied, ‘Okay, fine’. There was no prior communication. That is what happened."
