(Source: PTI) Virat Kohli wanted Ravi Shastri to remain at the helm, and the CAC itself was not unanimous in its recommendation. It’s learnt that Tendulkar backed Shastri, and Ganguly, who wasn’t present for Shastri’s presentation, backed Kumble. However, as skipper Virat Kohli wanted Shastri to remain at the helm, and the CAC itself was not unanimous in its recommendation, Kumble was given just a one-year term and Kohli persuaded to accept the arrangement. The board announces that Kumble would be a direct entry into the process but there are already rumblings about misunderstandings between Kumble and captain Kohli.
