Ravi Shastri said on Thursday that he didn’t encounter anything like that as the taalmel (co-ordination) between the two was always good. The 59-year-old asserted that if he had found any friction, he would have addressed it on Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s faces.

Ravi Shastri told Times Now:

Unverified media sources had claimed there were some disagreements between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma over the functioning of the team, soon after India’s semi-final loss to New Zealand in the World Cup. However, neither the team nor any of the players or support staff members from the squad have confirmed anything since.

More recently, The Times of India claimed that Ravi Shastri had heralded a thaw between Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma’s relations earlier this year by making the duo “talk it out.”

“The pressure is on England” - Ravi Shastri

Speaking about the ongoing series in England, Ravi Shastri feels the pressure of the fourth Test is on the hosts despite India coming off a heavy defeat in Leeds.

He remarked that Virat Kohli’s men had already proved their mettle and it was now up to Joe Root to prevent them from winning the series.

Shastri told Times Now Navbharat:

The fourth Test will get underway at 3:30 PM IST today at The Oval.
