Is all not well? R Ashwin complained against India captain Virat Kohli to the BCCI: Reports

Ashwin
has
been
India’s
premier
spinner
in
Test
cricket
and
his
figures
overseas
also
have
been
impressive.
But
captain
Virat
Kohli
preferred
left-arm
spinner
Ravindra
Jadeja
over
Ashwin
in
all
four
Tests
even
as
the
pitches
looked
conducive
to
spin
bowling.

Kohli’s
decision
to
ignore
the
Tamil
Nadu-spinner
baffled
even
the
likes
of
former
England
captains
Nasser
Hussain
and
Michael
Vaughan.
On
the
entire
tour
of
England
this
year,
Ashwin
seemed
cut
off
from
the
rest
of
the
teammates.
He
was
often
spotted
sitting
alone
in
the
dressing
room
or
in
the
stands
distracted,
which
further
hinted
that
the
tweaker
wasn’t
happy
with
the
way
things
were
shaping
up
in
the
dressing
room.

In
the
wake
of
Kohli
ignoring
him
constantly
in
England,
Ashwin
reportedly
revolted
against
the
captain
and
complained
to
the
Board
of
Control
for
Cricket
in
India
(BCCI)
against
Kohli
for
giving
them
harsh
treatment.

As
per
an

IANS
report,
a
senior
player
complained
to
the
BCCI
secretary
Jay
Shah
against
Kohli
for
making
him
insecure
in
the
team.
As
per
reports,
the
senior
player
in
question
was
Ashwin
after
the
Indian
captain
lashed
out
at
him
for
not
performing
up
to
the
mark
in
the
World
Test
Championships
(WTC)
final
against
New
Zealand.

Kohli
was
apparently
unhappy
with
two
other
senior
batters
in
the
side
after
WTC
final
defeat.
The
two
batters
were
reportedly
Cheteshwar
Pujara
and
Ajinkya
Rahane
–
who
personally
met
with
Jay
Shah
to
complain
against
the
captain.
Following
this,
Shah
asked
for
feedback
from
other
players
in
the
team
as
well.

As
per
a
report
in
the

New
Indian
Express,
speculations
are
rife
that
the
board
will
take
a
call
on
Kohli’s
future
as
ODI
captain
after
the
T20
World
Cup
2021.
Many
are
of
the
view
that
the
board
might
appoint
a
new
captain
in
the
white-ball
format
keeping
the
future
ICC
tournaments
in
mind
and
Kohli’s
failure
to
lift
a
single
ICC
trophy
in
his
captaincy.

Earlier
this
month,
Kohli’s
decision
to
step
down
as
the
captain
of
India’s
T20I
side
after
the
conclusion
of
the
T20
World
Cup
came
as
a
surprise
to
many.
Reports
later
emerged
that
the
senior
batter’s
decision
to
relinquish
captaincy
was
governed
by
the
fact
that
the
players
were
not
happy
with
him.
