After Virat Kohli's explosive press conference, BCCI leadership discusses response strategy

The Board of Control for Cricket in India top brass is exploring options to come with a response to Virat Kohli's sensation claims on Thursday as the India Test captain alleged lack of communication between him and the board.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) leadership group is exploring options to respond to Virat Kohli's sensational comments on his India captaincy, India Today has learnt. The top brass of the board is not in agreement with Kohli's claims from Wednesday's press conference and is in a huddle to come up with a response strategy, considering the tricky situation in Indian cricket.

BCCI is of course anguished but the board is in a very tricky situation, sources have said. On one hand, if they come out in open and say that Kohli's claims are not true, it paints a bad picture about the skipper to the fans and other stakeholders of the sport. On the other hand, if they remain silent, it would appear that the board mistreated the captain.
