Gavaskar rubbishes Kohli-Rohit rift rumours

TIL Desk Sports/ Sunil Gavaskar slammed rumours of a rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, calling it ‘nonsense’. The former India captain asked why Kohli and Rohit would not get along well with each other, stressing that the two players are playing for the country.

On Sunday, Kohli played under Rohit for the first time in ODI cricket as the latter took over as India’s full-time limited overs captain in India’s first ODI against the West Indies in Ahmedabad. Kohli and Rohit were interacting with each other, as they always do, and the former captain even came up with suggestions for DRS calls.

Kohli, in fact, persuaded Rohit to go for the DRS in one of Yuzvendra Chahal’s overs during India’s 6 wicket win over West Indies on Sunday. ‘Why would they not be getting along? They are playing for India. All these talks about two players not gelling is always speculation,’ Gavaskar told.
