Virat Kohli’s death stare after Gautam Gambhir’s subdued celebration of Rohit Sharma’s fifty gets the internet riled up

The inclusion of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in the Indian team for the initial ODI against Australia noticeably changed the atmosphere compared to the recent Test series against the same team. Despite the enduring popularity of Kohli and Rohit among Indian cricket fans, the ongoing speculation about their future and the discussions surrounding their relationship with head coach Gautam Gambhir have presented difficulties, even for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). A recent report indicates that the dynamics between Gambhir, Kohli, and Rohit are not entirely smooth.

According to Dainik Jagran, head coach Gautam Gambhir's relationship with Kohli and Rohit has changed since he took over from Rahul Dravid as India's head coach. The report suggests that the connection between the two star players and the coach is becoming strained.

"The relations between Gautam Gambhir and senior players Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma aren't as good as they should be, and there could be a meeting regarding the future of the two players. This could take place either in Raipur or Visakhapatnam - venues for the second and third ODIs," Jagran quoted a BCCI source as saying.
