Sources have reported that Anil Kumble stepped down as the Head coach of the India cricket team on Tuesday. He had tweeted about his resignation when the team was on its way to the West Indies to make things clear that the differences between Virat Kohli and himself were real. While there were rumors circulating for weeks that things were not right between the two, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), too, had inkling all was not well.
However, they were completely taken aback when they came to know that Kohli and Kumble were not on talking terms for the 'last six months'. Another point has also come to the fore that the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC), comprising the trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman, didn't give the green light for Kumble's extension as head coach straightaway. They had Okayed the extension with a rider.
It was stated that the first was where Kumble met the BCCI top brass and
members of CAC followed by Kohli meeting them. The last and the most
"eventful" meeting was when Kohli and Kumble were made to sit across
the table. The talks failed completely as there was no communication.
Moreover it was stated that the two had stopped talking to each other since December when the England Test series got over. There were problems but it was like shocking that the two didn't have any proper communication for the past six months.
