The Indian cricket has already arrived at the noted Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala at its Greenfield International Stadium for the first one day international against the West Indies. This is part of a three
match ODI series that’ll be followed by no fewer than 5 T20I’s. And the excitement around the same is immense. Perhaps understandably so! Not just because the series offers a wonderful opportunity to the host nation to play a brand of exciting cricket against a team that hasn’t even made it to the next year’s World Cup event. But also due to the fact that this series serves a massive opportunity to two great names of Indian cricket- in the form of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
The two widely noted high class achievers of world cricket are once again going to be in action in a format in which they have not only achieved whirlwind success but have become timeless legends.

It’s as simple as that. And one of the recent most widely noted developments that has made news already on social media pertains to a notable video montage surrounding Virat Kohli. The video sees King Kohli, as he’s is adoringly and respectfully called, walking out from what seems to be a practice session.
But while upon first looks, it seems as though this is a normal video and why wouldn’t it be, except it isn’t. The video sees Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of the Indian side, on the side of the very cricket ground where Virat Kohli is exiting. And the two don’t have any interaction.

As a matter of fact, the popular feeling at the moment surrounding the same is that Virat Kohli is actually ignoring his coach, Gautam Gambhir at that moment.
Usually speaking, the two critical members of a side which includes the premier talent and the coach tend to have cordial relations and normal ties. As such!! Except this isn’t particularly the case between two prominent cricketers of India, one who was a key member of the two World Cup winning campaigns and the other being one of the most world’s most prominent forces as far as the art of batting is concerned.
That being said, one certainly hopes that the bond between the two perhaps estranged names in the side can become strong again and lead to some amazing fruitful results for the team for which they are not just truly committed but tireless in their approach.
