A video of Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir is going viral, which is after the first ODI between India vs South Africa played in Ranchi. It is being claimed that Virat Kohli ignored the head coach. The arrival of this video has sparked a debate among fans on social media, did Kohli do this intentionally?

There was a heated argument between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir during the IPL, when both were playing for different teams. However, ever since Gambhir became the head coach of Team India, his relations with Kohli have appeared good. But the talk of ‘tension’ between the two intensified after an incident on Sunday.

Virat Kohli ignored Gautam Gambhir?

In the video that is going viral after Ranchi ODI, Virat Kohli is going towards the dressing room. As soon as he climbs the stairs, he takes out his mobile from his pocket and starts using it. Gautam Gambhir is seen standing inside the gate, but Kohli does not see him. When he enters inside, Gambhir looks at Kohli once, but Kohli goes straight away.

All is not well between Kohli and Gambhir?

A report has claimed that both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma do not have smooth relations with Gautam Gambhir. Both of them have increased their focus on ODI cricket after their retirement from T20 International and Test. According to the report, both want to play till 2027 World Cup, but the team management is not giving any guarantee that both will be part of the World Cup team. The report also said that during the preparations for the first ODI, there was no discussion between Kohli and Gambhir during the net session in Ranchi.

How much truth is there in the claims?

When Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion after playing a brilliant inning of 135 runs in Ranchi, Gautam Gambhir gave him a side-hug. A screenshot of this also went viral after the match. It is clear from this that the relationship between Gambhir and Kohli is not very bad, and it would be wrong to make any inference from a short clip.

India has taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series against South Africa. The second ODI will be played on Wednesday, December 3 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. Team India would like to win that match and win the series.

Team India, playing Test series in England, is lagging behind 1-2. The fourth Test will be played in Manchester from July 23, for this Team India has started practice. Meanwhile, BCCI shared a video on social media, including the clip of Lord’s dressing room when the head coach Gautam is talking to Gambhir players after the defeat. He praised Ravindra Jadeja.

Gautam Gambhir praised Ravindra Jadeja in the dressing room after the match. He said, “He fought amazing battle, the struggle that Jaddu struggled was a very brilliant innings.”

In the second Test, KL Rahul and Joe Root scored centuries. But the most discussed was 61 runs scored in Jadeja’s second innings, despite the defeat, Jadeja’s innings won everyone’s heart. Chasing 193 runs, Team India was all out for 170 runs, but Jadeja was unbeaten.

Team India’s Assistant Coach Ryan Ten Doshet said, “His batting has reached a different level. The last 2 Tests have shown his continuity and calm behavior.” Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said, “I have always felt that they have the ability to play in pressure.”

Many changes in the fourth test possible

In the fourth Test, many changes are possible in Team India’s playing 11. Jasprit Bumrah can be rested. There is doubt on Rishabh Pant. Karun Nair has not been effective in the last 3 Tests, questions are also being raised about him.
