Virat Kohli deletes tweet welcoming Anil Kumble as head coach in 2016

In a fresh twist to the ongoing crisis in Team India, skipper Virat Kohli deleted his tweet from June last year, where he welcomed Anil Kumble as coach of the Indian team.

In his tweet, Kohli had expressed hope of a great future under Kumble, who on Tuesday said that a fallout with Kohli was the reason behind his decision to step down as coach, adding that their partnership had become "untenable" despite attempts to resolve the misunderstandings.

The BCCI top brass had an inkling that all was not well but they were taken aback when they came to know that captain Virat Kohli and chief coach Anil Kumble were not in talking terms for the "last six months".


The two reportedly 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, a senior BCCI official told PTI.

On Sunday evening after the final, they were made to sit across table and they both agreed that it's not working out.
