Colombo: Rumors of a rift between Indian captain Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli are years old. Ever since the 2019 ODI World Cup in England, there were reports that the duo had a rift and that there were two factions in the Indian team, those supporting Virat Kohli and those supporting Rohit Sharma. But later, when Virat Kohli was out of form in batting and resigned as T20 captain after the 2021 T20 World Cup, Rohit Sharma became the Indian captain.
Later, Kohli was removed from the ODI captaincy. Kohli resigned as Test captain after the South Africa series. With this, Rohit became the captain of the Indian team in all three formats. After coming back to form after ending his century drought, Kohli continued his century hunt in Tests, T20s and ODIs. Rohit Sharma was the first to rush to the ground to pick up Kohli after winning a thrilling toss against Pakistan in the last T20 World Cup.
