Reports on Vettori amuse Kohli
Bengaluru, May 13, 2016, DHNS:
India’s Test captain Virat Kohli appeared amused about the news of him recommending the name of Daniel Vettori, who also coaches the Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League, for the position of India’s coach.
With Ravi Shastri’s contract as the team’s director ending at the conclusion of the World T20, the BCCI is looking to appoint a coach for the Indian team, a job for which Vettori is one of the front runners.
While he didn’t deny recommending the name of the former New Zealand skipper, Kohli expressed his surprise over the issue cropping up at this moment.
“I don’t see it as a controversy at all,” noted Kohli when asked a pointed question on the sidelines of a function. “See, all these things do come up when there is a scenario when you have to appoint someone (as coach). I don’t know how it has come out now.
I have spoken to him (Vettori) a while back. We have spoken to a few other people as well and everyone knows about it. I can’t say anything more about it because I don’t know why it has come out now,” he offered. “You guys (media) seem to know more about it, so I will wait for your verdict on that,” he quipped as a parting remark.
