Overview:
Amid the speculation regarding the batter's future in the fifty-over format and India's plans for the World Cup 2027, his chat with a member of the selection panel has added another twist to the ongoing saga.
A lot has been happening in the Indian ODI team, with reports suggesting the relationship between head coach Gautam Gambhir and the legendary batters Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is not good. The videos circulating on social media showed Kohli avoiding Gambhir after receiving the Player of the Match award in the first ODI against South Africa in Ranchi. As the Men in Blue get ready for the second ODI in Raipur, a clip emerged showing Kohli talking to national selector Pragyan Ojha.
The video was filmed at the airport, with Kohli and Ojha having a serious and intense conversation. Amid the speculation regarding the batter’s future in the fifty-over format and India’s plans for the World Cup 2027, his chat with a member of the selection panel has added another twist to the ongoing saga.

Another clip was captured, in which Ojha was seen talking to Rohit Sharma in the presence of Gambhir. Virat was not a part of the discussion. These visuals have added more fuel to the fire on the alleged miscommunication in the dressing room.

The recent concern involved three important members of the Indian National Cricket Team. The players’ limited game time and their breakdown in relationships with the coach haven’t been well-received by the well-wishers of the team.
Gambhir is under pressure after failing as a coach in Test cricket, with Team India losing two home series in a span of 12 months. He is facing massive flak on social media, and the BCCI is worried about the negative sentiments.
Rohit had a serious discussion with Gambhir after the match, and the two were involved in another round of chat at the hotel. Kohli went past Gambhir without a handshake after the first contest. The 37-year-old also refused to celebrate the team’s victory.
The rumours and video clips are enough to confirm that a lot is happening between the scenes.
