Delhi: Indian cricket team is currently in the news due to inside news. Team India’s two biggest legends and match-winning players, Rohit Sharma-Virat Kohli, and coach Gautam Gambhir are seen face to face. On one hand, both the star players are performing brilliantly. But, Gautam Gambhir is seen trying to get rid of both of them.

Questions are being raised on the future of Indian cricket due to lack of coordination between the head coach and senior players in the team. Gambhir is seen doing arbitrariness in the team, right from the selection to the playing-11 of the team. They are showing a desire to keep Virat and Rohit away from the World Cup 2027, due to which it can be assumed that they are trying to ruin the future of the team.

Gautam Gambhir’s relations with Rohit-Virat are not good,

At present, Team India may be playing with ball and bat in the match with the opposing team. But, the real fight is visible in the team. However, head coach Gautam Gambhir’s relationship with the team’s two most experienced players, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, is not good. Ever since Gautam Gambhir took over as the head coach of the team, there were signs of some problem in Gautam Gambhir’s relationship with Rohit-Virat and now the tension is increasing with time.

Signs started appearing only after suffering a clean sweep at home from New Zealand

In July 2024, Gautam Gambhir took over as the head coach of the Indian team. After this, it started with the Sri Lanka tour and immediately after that, played a Test series against Bangladesh at home. After the clean sweep of Bangladesh in the Test, they faced a whitewash at home against New Zealand and from here it seemed that Gautam Gambhir was not able to adjust with the senior players.

in Australia B.G.T. The spark was ignited during

After the defeat against New Zealand, there was a lot of pressure on Gautam Gambhir, and due to this pressure, he reached Australia for the biggest test of his coaching. India achieved a spectacular victory against the Kangaroo team in the first Test played in Perth during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But, after this the atmosphere in the team started changing. Ashwin suddenly surprised everyone by deciding to retire in the middle of the series.

In this series, captain Rohit Sharma’s bat was not working at all and Virat Kohli also faded after scoring a century in the first test. In such a situation, Gautam Gambhir started putting pressure on senior players to perform. In the last Test of the series played in Sydney, a huge step was taken by keeping the captain away from the playing-11. In this test, Rohit Sharma told that he himself is out of this test. But at the same time he bluntly said that he is not going to retire from Test yet and will continue playing.

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were forced to retire from Test.

During the tour of Australia, Hitman had clearly said that he is somehow thinking of retirement from Test cricket. Then suddenly on May 7, in the middle of the IPL, Rohit Sharma took a surprising decision and said goodbye to the Test. Just 5 days after his teammate Rohit’s retirement from Test, King Kohli also said bye-bye to the red ball format.

Retirement sounds very easy to read and hear. But, there is a big reason behind the retirement of both these greats from Test cricket. There was a lot of pressure put on both the great players to leave Test cricket. The signs of this started coming right from the tour of Australia and in order to maintain the atmosphere in the team, both the greats took a big step and left their favorite format of Test cricket.

Now, with serious gestures, pressure is being created for retirement in ODI.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma took leave in Test format. Before this, he had left T20 International on his own will. At the same time, he decided to continue playing in ODIs. Both the superstar players have their eyes set on the ODI World Cup to be held in 2027. But, Gautam Gambhir is now putting pressure on him through gestures to retire from ODI format also. Many times Gambhir is not showing clarity regarding the playing of these two greats in the ODI World Cup. Which makes it clear that they do not want Virat-Rohit to play in the Mahakumbh of 2027.

King Kohli and Hitman are giving a befitting reply with the bat

Whatever the head coach and chief selector are thinking. But, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are determined to give them a befitting reply with the bat. Rohit Sharma was the player of the series in the ODI series on Australia tour. King Kohli became the hero of the series against South Africa. The Hitman batted brilliantly and scored 202 runs in 3 matches against Australia. Meanwhile, in the third ODI, Virat Kohli also returned to his form and played an inning of 74 runs. After this, both of them dominated the home ODI series against South Africa also. Run Machine King Kohli scored 2 consecutive centuries and with the help of 1 fifty, scored 302 runs at an average of 151 in 3 matches. Rohit’s bat also spoke well, he scored 146 runs at an average of 48.66 while scoring 2 half-centuries in 3 innings.

Modern Master’s talks with the head coach have completely stopped.

The attitude that the head coach of a team is adopting towards his own senior players has hurt Virat Kohli a lot. According to the reports, due to this reason, this right-handed batsman started ignoring the team’s guru Gambhir. When he scored a brilliant century in the first match against South Africa in Ranchi, his celebration was giving a kind of indication that he was replying to Gambhir, while the coach was also sitting proud despite the century of his team player. He didn’t show any reaction at all. After the team’s victory, when Kohli was going towards the dressing room, as soon as he saw Gambhir in front, he took out his mobile from his pocket and looked at it, completely ignoring the coach and moving ahead. After this, when Virat was returning unbeaten after the victory in the third match, he just shook hands with Gambhir and hugged Rohit. All this indicates that Kohli has stopped talking to Gambhir.

Rohit also does not seem to agree with Gambhir’s decisions.

Rohit Sharma may not have ignored Gambhir like Virat Kohli. But, Hitman is not taking his head coach’s words seriously. Rohit Sharma was seen talking very seriously with Gambhir during the Ranchi match. Looking at him it seemed as if he was not ready to accept anything said by the coach. Not only this, former captain Rohit is just managing his team’s coach Gambhir.

Gambhir’s hesitation on the question of playing in World Cup 2027

Looking at the attitude of Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir, it is certain that he is having a rift with Rohit-Virat. From his heart he wants to keep these two legends away from the World Cup by any means. For this reason, till now he has not shown clarity every time, after the Australia series, he had said about both of them playing in the World Cup that the World Cup is still far away. The same answer was seen once again and despite such a good performance against South Africa, he still said that he is focusing on the present, the World Cup is still two years away. That means, they are just procrastinating on the question of the two giants playing.

Is Gautam Gambhir bent on ousting Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma?

What matters most for a team is how the players playing are performing? It does not matter whether he is an older or younger player of the team. Virat Kohli has played more than 50 innings every time in the last 4 innings, which includes 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries. From this it can be understood what kind of form he is in. On the other hand, Rohit Sharma has scored around 350 runs in 6 innings, he has also scored 1 century and 3 half-centuries.

Why does Gambhir want to throw him out despite playing so well? What is his future thinking? This is a very big question. The way he is hell-bent on getting Rohit-Virat to retire. From this it seems that he is spoiling the atmosphere of the team and is trying to push Indian cricket towards destruction.
