However, the three-member advisory committee led by Sourav Ganguly chose Ravi Shastri as the India coach, who lost out to Anil Kumble one year back.

Sehwag further mentioned that it was after talking with Kohli, he applied for that role. He gave this example to prove the fact that Kohli’s every decision is not moving. Notably, there was a rumour that Sehwag wrote only one line in his CV. However, the cricketer denied this.
