Commentator as well former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar reacted on Kumble’s awful resignation from team India’s coach. Sunil Gavaskar slammed Virat Kohli and his team after Anil Kumbl’es resignation from the post.

Gavaskar said to NDTV, “I have very little knowledge about the differences between Virat and Anil. But it is a really sad day for Indian cricket.” So you want softies. You want somebody to just tell you, ‘ok boys, don’t practice today because you guys are not feeling well, ok take a holiday, go shopping’. You want that kind of a person. If somebody is a hard taskmaster and he has got you results like Anil Kumble has got over the last one year. If any of the players are complaining, I feel those players are the ones who should be left out of the team.”

He further added, “India have won everything since the time Anil took over. I can’t see Anil doing much wrong in one year. Differences (can) happen in any team but see the results.”

Olympics gold medalist ace-shooter Abhinav Bindra too took a sly dig at Virat Kohli after Anil Kumble stepped down from Indian team coach. He did not mention anyone’s name but the tweet was enough to understand what he meant and whom it was gestured to.

With too many conspiracies, it will now be interesting to see who takes over the mantle.
