What caused Chetan Sharma resign?
A video footage is said to have sparked it all, and it got involved with issues related to former captain of the Indian national team and legendary cricketer Virat Kohli.
On February 14, an Indian TV news channel released video footage of Sharma talking about various matters relating to the national team. It included alleged issues between Virat Kohli and former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, and Jasprit Bumrah’s injury.

The decision was said to be made by Sharma, all by himself and voluntarily:
“He resigned voluntarily and wasn’t asked to resign.”
