Kohli’s Disclosure of ‘Confidential Matter’ on Social Media Sparks Displeasure Among BCCI Officials

Cricket News

Kohli's Social Media Revelation

Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team captain, stirred controversy when he shared his Yo-Yo fitness test scores on social media. Kohli’s post, which showcased his test score of 17.2, generated significant interest among his followers.

BCCI's Swift Response

However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) swiftly responded to Kohli’s social media disclosure. BCCI officials expressed their displeasure at the captain’s action, emphasizing the confidential nature of the Yo-Yo fitness test results.

Balancing Act: Publicity vs Confidentiality

While Kohli’s Yo-Yo test score was notably above the expected threshold of 16.5, the BCCI reminded both Kohli and the rest of the team about the importance of maintaining confidentiality when it comes to such results. The Yo-Yo test scores are considered sensitive information and should not be publicly shared.

Breach of Contract Concerns

A BCCI official highlighted that players were verbally instructed to refrain from sharing any confidential information on social media platforms. Although sharing training-related pictures is permissible, posting actual scores could potentially breach contractual agreements.

Upcoming Challenges

As the Indian cricket team prepares for the forthcoming Asia Cup, which is rapidly approaching, a portion of the squad not involved in the Ireland tour has been engaged in a training camp situated in Bengaluru. This training period underscores the team’s dedication to improving their fitness and performance ahead of the upcoming tournament.
