Following Virat Kohli's shock decision to quit as captain of the Indian Test cricket team, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President Sourav Ganguly on Sunday, 16 January, said that the Indian cricket had made "rapid strides" in all formats under Kohli's leadership, while adding that his decision was solely a "personal" one.
In a Twitter post, Ganguly also said he respects Kohli's decision and that he will continue to be "an important member" of the team.
Not just Ganguly, several other legends in the cricket world, including Virender Sehwag, Irfan Pathan, Yuvraj Singh, and others, reacted to the Kohli's shock decision.
While Ravi Shastri noted that "only a few have achieved" what Kohli could, Sir Vivian Richards said that his "name will be up there among the best leaders in world cricket."
