New Delhi: Committee of Administrators (COA) member Diana Edulji believes that the BCCI did the right thing by calling truce on the ‘DRS Controversy’ as it would have “shifted focus” from India’s win in Bengaluru.
“The matter was discussed by the COSA members in Bengaluru. We were in Bengaluru for the awards function where the matter was discussed with CEO Rahul Johri and coach Anil Kumble. Vikram (Limaye) joined us via video conference. We believe that for the best interest of the game, the series should go on without any hiccups,” Edulji said.
“Yes, we firmly stand by our captain Virat Kohli and that’s why the statement was issued supporting our captain. We have complete faith in our captain and it’s not the case that BCCI did not stand with the skipper,” she said.
The former cricketer said the issue was at rest now. “We are hopeful that before Virat and Smith go out for the toss in Ranchi, they will sit across the table and amicably sort out the differences,” she said.
