The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli broke into laughter at the end of the press conference after India whitewashing South Africa in Ranchi on Tuesday. He was asked that BCCI president-elect Sourav Ganguly has said he will have a chat with Kohli to seek clarity on the future of MS Dhoni.
Replying to the same, Virat said, “I congratulated him. It’s great that he has become the BCCI president but he has not spoken to me about that yet. He’ll get in touch with me when he has to.” Adding some laughter to his words, the Indian skipper said, “I am sure. What do I say about that? I’ll go meet him when he tells me to. That’s it.”
India won the third and final Test by an innings and 202 runs to complete a 3-0 whitewash against South Africa. As the Ranchi Test ended in four days, Kohli was asked if he will go to Dhoni’s place and meet the former India captain.
