A lot has been written about an alleged rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. According to reports, the two had a fallout during the recently concluded World Cup in England and Wales. However, ahead of Team India’s departure for the tour of West Indies, Virat Kohli sounded miffed when asked to clarify on his relationship with the Indian vice-captain.
“I too have heard a lot. Dressing room atmosphere is important to succeed. If this (rumour of the rift) was true, we would not have performed well. It’s ridiculous to read such news. We are overlooking faces. We are turning blind eyes towards good things. It’s disrespectful to bring such news. You’ll come to the changing room and see how we are. We can’t show you videos. It baffles you as a team member and the captain.”
“If I don’t like someone you will see it on my face. I don’t know who is benefiting from this. People get pleasure from such things. We have to reflect as cricketers.”
