There is a long history of differences of opinion between senior players and coaches in Indian cricket. The internal situation of Indian cricket is again in the headlines amid the ongoing ODI series against South Africa. According to a report, the relationship between head coach Gautam Gambhir and the team’s two biggest stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has now deteriorated. This tension has increased so much that the conversation between the two legends and the coach has almost stopped, the effect of which is also visible in the dressing room of the ODI team.
All is not well between Rohit-Kohli and Gambhir?
According to the report of Dainik Jagran, everything was normal when Gambhir took over as coach in place of Rahul Dravid, but now the situation has completely changed. Discussions about the future of Rohit and Kohli, captaincy issues and differences over strategy have made the atmosphere in the dressing room heavy. A BCCI source says that the board is very upset with this whole matter. Especially the continuous attacks by Rohit-Kohli fans against Gambhir on social media have further heated up the atmosphere.
Even during the Australia tour, there was no conversation between Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar and Rohit Sharma. Now the same situation is being said between Kohli and Gambhir. According to the report, an important meeting may soon take place regarding the future of Rohit, Kohli and Gambhir. This meeting is likely to be held in Raipur or Visakhapatnam during the second-third ODI. The board does not want this tension to affect the team’s performance. Now all eyes are on whether BCCI is able to resolve this issue or whether a big upset will be seen even before the 2027 ODI World Cup.
