India National Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir rubbished all the rumours of a rift with skipper Rohit Sharma. He said that rumours are being circulated by social media and YouTube channels, and people are trying to boost their TRP.
India National Cricket Team head coach Gautam Gambhir and skipper Rohit Sharma, as per the various reports, don't share a good relationship. There have been several reports that claimed that the duo don't agree on most of the decisions, and this has raised tensions in the dressing room as well.
The relationship between Gautam Gambhir and Rohit Sharma reportedly took a negative step during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India National Cricket Team skipper struggled to get going in the series, and it saw the right-hander facing a lot of criticism as well.
It was learned that Gautam Gambhir played a huge role in Rohit Sharma dropping himself from the last game in Sydney. He reportedly wanted the senior Indian batter to be removed from the Test team completely, as he was not in favour of him leading the team.
When asked about the rift rumours with Rohit Sharma, Gautam Gambhir said that talks are being circulated by people on social media. He added that had they not won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, worse talks could've been there. Speaking on ABP India at the 2047 summit, he said:
"I want to begin by asking—who are the people asking such questions? These are just social media and YouTube channel people trying to boost their TRP. If we hadn't won the Champions Trophy, I can't even imagine the kind of questions the media would have asked me."

"Till the time they are performing, they should be a part of the team. Performance ensures selection. No coach, selector, or even the BCCI can tell someone to stop playing if they’re delivering. No sportsman plays for farewell. The biggest farewell and trophy is the love of the country. That is what truly matters,”
