In fact, after Team India’s poor performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, several reports emerged suggesting that all was not well in the dressing room.

When Gambhir was asked if Rohit Sharma would play the match, he replied, “We will decide to play XI at the time of the toss.” However, when Rohit was not included in the team, rumours about problems in Team India’s dressing room became stronger. Gambhir later said, “Talks between the coach and players should stay in the dressing room. Those were just reports, not the truth.”
