Dada plays with a straight bat.

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly on Friday said it was Anil Kumble’s personal decision to step down as head coach but refused to comment on the speculated rift with Virat Kohli.

“He has resigned at the last minute, it’s his personal decision. I don’t want to talk on this matter,” Ganguly, a member of the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) formed to recommend the coach, said at CAB on Friday. “I’m aware of everything that’s happening at the moment, I’ve even spoken with both Kohli and Kumble, but I believe things like these are confidential and shouldn’t be discussed in public.”

Kumble, in his parting statement, has said Kohli had reservations about his coaching ‘style’ and their partnership was untenable as he did not accompany the side in the ongoing tour to the West Indies.
