Journalist Rajdeep Sardesai was left embarrassed on live Television once again and this time around, it came from the legendary Indian cricketer, Sunil Gavaskar. Gavaskar was one of the panelists on a discussion over the rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma and he stated that he won’t be worried if Sardesai wouldn’t agree with him.
Sunil Gavaskar also added that he wouldn’t lose his sleep if Sardesai wouldn’t agree with him. While moving towards the end of the debate, Gavaskar was asked what he would suggest to Jay Shah and Sourav Ganguly on the alleged rift between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

Gavaskar suggested both Shah and Ganguly should ignore the matter and when Sardesai wasn’t seen on the same page with him, the 72-year-old said, “Rajdeep if you don’t agree with me, it doesn’t matter. I won’t lose sleep over it.”
Adding background to the topic, there were reports that the Indian Test captain, Virat Kohli won’t be available for the ODI series in South Africa because Rohit Sharma is the new ODI captain and he was not fine with it.

However, Kohli opened up in a press conference earlier on Wednesday and brushed off any rift between him and Rohit. He also stated that he is tired of clarifying that there isn’t an issue between them. He also gave his assurance for SA ODIs scheduled after three Tests.

Virat Kohli in his press conference said, “There is no problem between me and Rohit Sharma. I’m tired of saying these things for over 2.5 years. Whatever, I’ll do will never be to take the team downwards. There is no issue between Rohit and me. I was and I am available for selection all this time. You shouldn’t be asking me these questions, you should ask those who are writing these stories and sources, they’re not credible – I was always keen to play ODIs.”
