Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are willing to accept whatever decision the BCCI takes on their international futures, but do not want Indian cricket to depend solely on Gautam Gambhir. With concerns over Gambhir’s relationship with senior players and selection inconsistencies, the BCCI is considering a bigger role for VVS Laxman to bring greater balance, credibility and stability.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are prepared to quit international cricket if the system demands it. But neither wants Indian cricket's future to rest solely with Gautam Gambhir. As per reports, Rohit and Virat have conveyed the same to the BCCI.
Gambhir under pressure
The concern is bigger than Gambhir's future as coach. There is growing unease over his relationship with senior players and his authority within the dressing room. His cricketing stature also does not match that of Kohli and Rohit.
The BCCI is therefore looking for greater balance. It is not expected to sack Gambhir or chief selector Ajit Agarkar immediately. Instead, the board wants a stronger structure around them.
