Dada's credibility undeniable: DC owner Parth Jindal backs Sourav Ganguly in captaincy row

New Delhi/IBNS: Delhi Capitals (DC) owner Parth Jindal has backed Indian cricket board (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly whose statement on the captaincy issue contradicted with the one of Test skipper Virat Kohli.

Supporting Ganguly, who has been caught off-guard with Kohli's presser, Jindal tweeted, "Dadas credibility is undeniable and for anyone saying anything against @SGanguly99 needs to understand what Dada has done for Indian cricket and that he would never compromise Indian cricket for anything ever. Hope this gets resolved as right now the only loser is Indian cricket."

While Ganguly stated he had personally requested Kohli not to step down as T20 captain, the latter denied any such conversation and also added his step was well accepted by the board.

Moreover, Kohli said he was informed about the board's decision to replace him as the ODI skipper one-and-a-half hours prior to the selection of Test squad for the upcoming series against South Africa.

Ganguly, who has also mentored DC, said the BCCI will step appropriately.
