Kohli tweets: Grateful to have Jaitley as DDCA president

December 21, 2015 09:34

Meanwhile support continues to pour in from Indian cricketers for Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, who has been accused of turning a blind eye to financial irregularities during his tenure as DDCA president by the AAP.

A day after Gambhir, Sehwag and pacer Ishant Sharma came out strongly in support of Jaitley, now Virat Kohli has stepped up and tweeted: "Grateful to have @arunjaitley ji as the president of our association. He has always wanted to improve the game & help cricketers in everyway."

"A lot of good things have happened in DDCA when Mr Jaitley was its president. An international kind of stadium was built, if you see what sort of stadium Kotla was and what it is now, all these things happened only when Jaitley was President," Gambhir told reporters on Sunday.

"All these people who are criticising him now left right and center, they too were part of the cricket improvement committee, they were given top most posts and they were able to do nothing for Delhi.

"Now when he is not there as president, every kind of allegation is levelled against him. They should not have taken such positions in DDCA if that was the case," he added.
