Virat Kohli Abused Anil Kumble Prior To The Champions Trophy Finale

Anil Kumble’s resignation from the post of Indian head coach has recently witnessed an appalling epiphany. Such insight have been considering to be emerged as to aid the abrupt stance of Kumble. From the source of this happening, the matter of dispute between this duo Kumble and Indian skipper Virat Kohli had carried this squabble into another level. According to media, while India was heading their Champions Trophy final against Pakistan, Virat Kohli had engaged in an argument with Kumble during the team meeting ahead of the final which further exceeded to the scenario where Kohli himself was said to be alleged with the usage of abusive words against Kumble.

Kohli adding fuel to that fire also expressed on behalf of the other members of team that Kumble’s coaching potential was not at all entertained by his teammates any more, hence they couldn’t consider him as their head coach. Following this disintegration, Kumble stepped down from the helm of his respective post. With the help of several reports, it is coherent to the masses that the rift between this duo has been on its wheel since the time of India-Australia Series. Even Kumble in his letter as well hinted the reservation from Kohli’s end has been the reason behind his radical decision.

Sunil Gavaskar’s stand for Kumble:

Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar while being asked about his stand point on this same issue, got infuriated on the reports that suggested that Kumble was ?overbearing? and a hard taskmaster. ?So you want softies. You want somebody to just tell you, ?ok boys, don?t practice today because you guys are not feeling well, ok take a holiday, go shopping?. You want that kind of a person. If somebody is a hard taskmaster and he has got you results like Anil Kumble has got over the last one year,? he said.

Sanjay Bangar is said to sail the ship of Indian cricket team as the interim coach while R Sridhar continues as fielding coach and MV Sridhar the BCCI GM of Operations has taken over as the manager of the side. Such happenings somewhere might have clued the rift between Kumble and Kohli to be taken place in its real essence.

Post his resignation, veteran Indian opener Virender Sehwag emerged as one of the applicants who applied for the post. The other candidates to have applied for the post include the Australian Tom Moody, Englishman Richard Pybus, former Indian fast bowler Dodda Ganesh and former India A coach Lalchand Rajput.

The Men in Blue have already landed into the Carribean soil for their imminent tour without a head coach. Thus it unveils the utmost importance for the BCCI to appoint a new coach to replace Kumble before the team goes to Sri Lanka on their next tour.
