Difference of opinions with coach Anil Kumble  

The legendary Indian leg-spinner Anil Kumble was appointed as the coach of the national cricket team in June 2016 for one year, till the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy in England. However, under his tenure, India’s performances were very good and the chief of COA, Vinod Rai, also announced Kumble’s extension period as the coach of the Indian cricket team.

But, during the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy tournament, it was revealed that the Indian skipper Virat Kohli had reservations on Kumble’s coaching style. Though the board members made an attempt to resolve this issue, it remained at the same place. In the result, Kumble stepped down from his role after India finished as the runner-up in the Champions Trophy.

Indian fans hugely criticised Kohli for his action on the coach. Even, some former cricketers also criticised the Indian captain for this matter.
