The Rise of Indian test team- part 6 the contraversial coach and captain relationship

• when kumble was made coach everyone expected that two cricketers with same attitude is going to take Indian team new heights but it didn't go as planned as two similar attitudes bought soon rised problem between them.
• the first problem arose between them was team selection as both are not ready to compramise themselves down from their choices. Some of problem is kohli wanted to back kl but kumble wanted to back gambhir. Kumble called gambhir on 2016 after kl got injured to join the side and he conducted him fitness test and included him in side. Once kl was back kohli started to stick with kl even after inconsistencies. Yet again problem started to increase as parthiv patel and nair replaced kl and saha. When rahane is injured nair played at his position and scored a 300 but once rahane returned it made things difficult as captain and coach took two different sides. And kl aswell scored a 199 in final tests.
•everyone tried to solve the problem between both but none was ready to comedown and one key thing that is said to be reason is kumble questioning kohli over every small thing both on and off field. Bcci initiated several talks from ex cricketers to both kohli and kumble but nothing paid off as kohli was too adamant over coach change and kumble was too adamant that he will continue the same and as a result kumble was removed. 

•even after such a big drama both performances of Indian players and kohli didn't come down but kohli became doubly dangerous player scoring 200s for fun that particular years
