R Ashwin Slams Fake Media Reports Stating He Had Complained To The BCCI About Virat Kohli

Mumbai: Ravichandran Ashwin slammed ‘fake news’ which allegedly claimed that he apparently complained to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over Virat Kohli’s captaincy.

After BCCI treasurer Arun Dhumal broke his silence on the matter, quashing the rumours, Ashwin also took to Instagram to brand the news as ‘fake’.

“I am searching for the handle ‘fake news’, it used to be super fun for gossip. Oh Yaaaa!! Thank you guys.

“Found them: I just heard they renamed themselves and are now called IANS and some others take quotes from them too. Super fun,” Ashwin wrote in an Instagram story.

Soon after Kohli announced his stepping down as the captain of the Indian team in the shortest format after the conclusion of the T20 World Cup 2021, rumours of some senior Indian players being unhappy with his leadership spread. Actually, a name had also surfaced with a media report in which Ravichandran Ashwin had said that the off-spinner had told the BCCI about the captain.

Ashwin is the first cricketer who has broken his silence on the matter. Although these rumours have been doing the rounds for a few days, Kohli himself has not commented on the matter. With Ashwin and BCCI treasurer Dhumal deciding to set the record straight, the India captain may also break his silence.
