2025 has been a quite eventful year for the India cricket team. It started with losing the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in 10 years, but a couple of months later, the Men in Blue won the Champions Trophy 2025. As India head coach and captain, things haven’t been easy for Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma.
Rift in India’s dressing room?
One mustn’t forget that Team India also lost its first home Test series in 12 years under the duo. And then in Australia, Rohit dropped himself. However, reports suggested that Gambhir dropped the captain. Then during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, India’s assistant coach Abhishek Nayar gets sacked by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Everyone knows how close Rohit and Nayar were. During one of the low points in his career, Nayar had become Rohit’s personal coach and helped him get back on track. There were rumours that all wasn’t right between Gambhir and Nayar. And that there was a rift in the dressing room.
Gambhir to decide Rohit Sharma’s Test future?
Team India will embark on a 5-match Test tour of India soon, and to ensure they win, the captain and coach need to be on the same page. It was also reported that BCCI will give Gambhir’s advice a lot of weight regarding selection. And since Rohit hasn’t been in great form, he could decide whether he travels to England as captain or player.

Amid all of this swirling around, Gambhir has assured everyone that he and Rohit are on great terms. That he respects him immensely, and all these reports are rubbish.
“Yeh sirf kuch logon ne jo YouTube channel chala rahe hain, ya jo ‘experts’ bane baithe hain TRP ke liye bola hai. We won the Champions Trophy just two months ago—imagine if we hadn’t. What kind of questions would you be asking me then?” Gambhir said at the ABP India At 2047 Summit.
“Just two months ago, a coach and captain won the Champions Trophy together, and now you’re asking about my relation with Rohit. I respect him as a human being and a cricketer. What he has done for India is incredible. I’ve had a lot of time for someone like him since the day he came into the team, and that won’t change,” he added.
