Are Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli having a cold war on? Are the rumours of a rift between the captain and vice-captain actually true? It so happens that the two batsmen have not spoken anything directly but have kept each other away from their team photos.
While Rohit Sharma hasn't posted much since landing in Miami for their series against West Indies, the Indian skipper has been sharing pics with teammates.
Taking to social media yet again, Kohli shared a picture posing with Ravindra Jadeja, Navdeep Saini, Khaleel Ahmed, Shreyas Iyer, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and KL Rahul and captioned it, "SQUAD".
While the photo gained the likes, the one question that keeps coming up is where is Rohit Sharma?
Just yesterday (1 August) India's wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant shared an image on Instagram along with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer and Rohit Sharma. He captioned the picture "Mellow Vibe ~ Killer Tribe #ingoodcompany #miami".
While the same image was even posted by Shreyas Iyer who wrote, "Beautiful day, beautiful people! #friends#teammates", people were soon to question asking where is Virat Kohli.
Talking about the rift between Virat and Rohit, the skipper in a press conference said, "Ridiculous to read such stuff that comes out. We are feeding of lies and overlooking facts. Bringing personal lives into the picture is disrespectful."
'If I don't like a person, you will see it on my face': Kohli reacts to rumours of rift with Rohit Sharma
"If I don’t like a person, you will see that on my face. I’ve always praised Rohit. We have had no issues. Don’t know who is benefitting from all of this. We are working to get the Indian cricket top. Within the team, it is for everyone to see. It’s evident on the field. Can’t play the way we do if there was no camaraderie."
India will play three T20Is and as many ODIs, and two Tests which are part of World Test Championship from August 3 to September 3.
