On June 20, 2017, Anil Kumble resigned as head coach of the Indian cricket team. In his statement he wrote: “I was informed for the first time yesterday by the BCCI that the Captain had reservations with my ‘style’.” The captain was Virat Kohli.
Kumble concluded that “the partnership was untenable.” He listed what he had tried to bring: “Professionalism, discipline, commitment, honesty, complementary skills and diverse views.”
