BCCI Official Reveals The Reason Behind Rumours Of Rift Between Virat Kohli And Rohit Sharma

The rumours of rift between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma is undoubtedly one of the biggest controversies related to the Indian team in recent years. The rumours first surfaced during 2017 Champions Trophy and since then, it has only amplified. In the past, both Kohli and Rohit have made it clear that everything is fine between them.

Earlier this year, chief selector Chetan Sharma had to brush aside the rumours too. However, the rumours have kept surfacing every now and then. And as those rumours of rift between two of Indian cricket’s greatest stars refuse to die down, BCCI secretary Arun Dhumal has also spoken about it.

Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma rift rumours driven by fans’ passion:

Speaking to journalist Vimal Kumar, Arun Dhumal has brushed aside the rumours and said that those have been driven by fans’ passion. Dhumal stated that such rumours existed in the past too but they were not amplified because of the absence of social media.

“This is driven by fans’ passion. When you are emotionally connected with someone, you can say all those things. And social media is a medium where people speak openly about politics, sports and judiciary. It was not the case when there was only electronic or cable press and print press. There are no bars on social media so these rumours are coming out openly.”

These things have always been there. We used to hear rumours about Gavaskar sahab (Sunil Gavaskar) and Kapil Paaji (Kapil Dev) and sometimes Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar. These things go on. But the social media has amplified these matters. This is just fans’ passion and love,” said Dhumal.

Meanwhile, Rohit is currently busy playing the ongoing T20I series against West Indies. Kohli, on the other hand, has been rested for the same. Both the players are likely to play together later this month when the Asia Cup gets underway.
