Kohli, India’s captain, should acquaint himself with this idiomatic phrase before it is too late. Apparently, all Kohli wanted was for the “overbearing” Anil Kumble to be replaced by Ravi Shastri as coach, but while that wish was granted he also got Zaheer Khan as bowling consultant and Rahul Dravid as overseas batting consultant for Test cricket. The acting office-bearers of the BCCI say they left it to the CAC. The CAC will not say that the Committee of Administrators (CoA), set up by the courts, did not steer them. Shastri might preside over a golden era of Indian wins, but when the team was collecting trophies, Kumble was nowhere to be seen.
