"Situation not good": BCCI forced to change 'Ajit Agarkar mediation' plan between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir
Since Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma returned to the Indian ODI squad for the three-match series against South Africa on Sunday, discussions have been going on about whether the pair will be kept in the team till the 2027 World Cup.
"Situation not good": BCCI forced to change 'Ajit Agarkar mediation' plan between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar was supposed to meet Virat Kohli before the second ODI against South Africa. Since "situation was not good", another selector Pragyan Ojha was sent as a mediator. Sources said that the meeting was arranged as the relationship between Kohli and coach Gautam Gambhir is said to have cooled down.
Two superstars: Rumours, speculation and lack of clarity surrounding the careers of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. This has been the story of Indian cricket for the past few days. Ever since Kohli and Rohit returned to the Indian ODI team for the three-match series against South Africa starting on Sunday, the focus has been on whether the pair will last till the 2027 World Cup. In terms of form and fitness, both are in top form. Rohit was the man of the series in the ODIs against Australia in October. He hit a half-century in the first ODI against South Africa, while Kohli scored a brilliant century - his 52nd century in the ODI format.
Amidst this confusion, a report has claimed that the relationship between Kohli and India head coach Gautam Gambhir has turned sour. In fact, some reports have also suggested that there will be a meeting between top BCCI officials and the Indian team management.
