Lost chief selector job as I chose Kohli in 2008: Vengsarkar
Ex-chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar has said selecting then 19-year-old Virat Kohli over Subramaniam Badrinath for a series against Sri Lanka in 2008 cost him his job. Vengsarkar said then BCCI treasurer and Chennai Super Kings owner N Srinivasan asked him how he left CSK's Badrinath out. "Next day he took [Kris] Srikkanth to BCCI president...and sent me home," Vengsarkar added.
