「完全に間違っている」：BCCI副会長、ロヒット・シャルマ氏、ガンビール氏、アガルカール氏の間の不和に関する報道を却下

BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla rubbished reports of an alleged rift between India cricket team skipper Rohit Sharma, head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar. The official was forced to clear the air after reports claimed that the trio were not on the same page, especially after India’s 1-3 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The three participated in a review meeting on Saturday to review the team’s performance in Down Under and to chalk the path for the future.

“No rift” between Rohit, Gambhir & Agarkar

Speaking on the sidelines of Kho Kho World Cup, Shukla categorically stated that there was no rift between coach, chairman of selectors and the captain. The BCCI VP said that it was a completely wrong statement to make in terms of alleging a rift between the team management and Sharma. He threw his weight behind seniors Rohit and Virat Kohli and pointed out that being out of form happens in sports.

“Completely wrong statement to be made. No rift between coach, selection chairman, and captain,” said Shulka.
