A video on Twitter is going viral with the claim that both these Indian legends ignored each other and went past without shaking hands. In the video, it is seen that when Virat comes closer to Sourav Ganguly, Delhi’s coach Ricky Ponting stops him to say something. Sourav Ganguly was standing right behind Rickey Ponting and all of a sudden both (Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli) moved away from each other without shaking hands. This incident reminds fans of the 2021 episode where BCCI removed Virat Kohli from limited overs captaincy. This became a controversial decision with Virat claiming BCCI did not consult the decision with him.
