Speaking to news agency ANI, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said, “Whatever news is viral is a lie. This news is imaginary. Some renowned news agencies are also exaggerating this false news. There is no truth in it, BCCI completely rejects this news.”

Devjit Saikia further said that people can think whatever they want, but BCCI has not taken any decision regarding the post of coach. He said that this is a fabricated story created by someone and there is no truth in it. Saikia said, “I would not like to say anything other than that this news is completely false.”

The test performance of the Indian team under Gautam Gambhir has not been good. But this year India has won the Champions Trophy and Asia Cup title in white ball format.
