India captain Virat Kohli on Saturday dismissed the speculated rift with Anil Kumble, stating that there were "no problems" with the chief coach and the entire episode was nothing but rumours. "There are a lot speculations and lot of things being written by people without actually being part of the change room which is quite strange.
There are no problems whatsoever," Kohli was curt while addressing the media ahead of the Champions Trophy opener against arch-rivals Pakistan. When the question was rephrased by another scribe about how his journey with Kumble has been through the past year, he answered with an equally deadpan expression. "It's been really good. The whole journey has been good," he said. On alleged disagreements with Kumble, the skipper made it clear that one should only comment when aware of the situation.
