When the performance of a team is at its peak then the media and others praise them too much. When the going is not good then the split is wide open and the people try to open Pandora’s Box. Team India is in such a predicament. All along we were home tigers and when the going was not good we play on an under prepared wicket and achieve our objective. Now the situation is different and the results are not forthcoming and so truth is also coming out. After a long time, skipper was having guts to criticize Anil Kumble. So this tit for tat attitude is not in good taste and not in lines with gentleman’s game of cricket. Outwardly they can say that there is no difference between team members but inwardly there is smoke and so there is fire also. Such type of differences was there in the past but it did not come in open. But this time the issue is blown out of proportion and the fight between Kumble and Kohli might have impact on the team’s performance as well.
