Dravid breaks silence on Kohli’s captaincy row

TIL Desk Sports/ India head coach Rahul Dravid, on Saturday, refused to divulge details of any internal conversation he might have had with the selectors on Virat Kohli’s white-ball captaincy, saying it is not for public consumption.

It has been a convention that Indian captain addresses the media ahead of the opening Test match of a series but it was Dravid, who took the questions ahead of the ‘Boxing Day’ Test against South Africa. Kohli had decided to give up the leadership role in Twenty20 format and later he was replaced by Rohit Sharma in the One-day format too.

“To be honest that’s the role of the selectors and I am not going to get into conversations that I might or might not have had,” when asked if he had given his opinion on change of white ball captaincy.

“It’s not the place and the time to be doing that and discussing that. And what internal conversations I have had is certainly not going to come out in the media and I am not going to start telling people what conversations I have had,” Dravid said in a polite-yet-firm manner.
