Meanwhile, Virat Kohli broke his silence on Anil Kumble’s resignation. Ahead of the first ODI against West Indies, while speaking to media personnel, Virat said,”Anil Bhai has taken the decision to step out and we respect the decision. I will never reveal dressing room details and maintain the sanctity of the dressing room. We have created a culture over the last 3-4 years that whatever happens in the change room, we’ve tried to keep it private and highly confidential throughout.”
