New Delhi: The Indian cricket board has come up with another explanation to justify the stand to allow Anushka Sharma to accompany Virat Kohli in England during the first two Tests of the recently concluded series.
According to reports, one of the BCCI officials said that the board approved Kohli’s request as Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma were soon to be getting married. The Indian team management was not too convinced with BCCI’s decision. However, BCCI told them that Virat Kohli can manage the situation without much trouble.
A daily reported, "When the management enquired on how to handle the media if they questioned her presence with the vice-captain, they were told that Kohli can handle the media attention and wouldn't let the cat out of the bag," said the Board of Control for Cricket in India official.
Earlier, the India’s team manager on the England tour, Sunil Dev had slammed the decision of allowing Anushka Sharma to stay with Virat Kohli till the third Test.
