IPL 2023: Sreesanth makes sarcastic comment about Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly ahead of RCB versus DC game | Watch Video

Xtra Time Web Desk: Ahead of Saturday’s IPL 2023 game between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals, former India cricketer S Sreesanth in a video posted on social media for the host broadcasters sarcastically said he would love to see RCB star batter Virat Kohli scoring a hundred in the game to show his tribute to Sourav Ganguly, who is the Director of Cricket at Delhi Capitals.

“Virat Kohli scoring a century against Delhi Capitals will be a great tribute to Dada,” Sreesanth said on Star Sports.

The spotlight would be on Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly for obvious reasons. Kohli and Ganguly made headlines when the two sides met recently at the MA. Chinnaswamy. Both Ganguly and Kohli did not shake hands after the match when the two teams lined up for handshakes.

The relationship between Ganguly and Virat started getting worse during the captaincy saga. Virat stepped down from Test captaincy after series loss against South Africa. He had already resigned from T20 captaincy after the T20 World Cup got over and was sacked from the ODI captaincy subsequently for reasons well known to BCCI and the captain himself.

The former BCCI President and selection committee chairman then, Chetan Sharma had gone on record to say that they had requested Kohli not to step down from T20 captaincy — a statement that was contradicted by the then captain in the press conference ahead of the South Africa tour.
