Things got worse gradually when Virat resigned from the position of Test Captain.  Sometimes later, the tenure of Ganguly also ended, and he joined as the Director of Cricket of Delhi Capitals. He has been part of Delhi Capitals before in the edition 2019. Recently during the clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2023, things escalated when Virat took a catch and gave a angry stare to the DC Director of Cricket Ganguly.
