 Anil kumble stepped down as the Head coach of the Indian cricket team on Tuesday.

He tweeted his resignation when the team was on its way to the west indies to make things clear- that the difference between Virat kohli and himself were real.

 While their were rumors circulating for weeks that things were not right between the two, the Board of Control for Cricket in India(BCCI),too, had an inkling all was not well.

 However, they were completely taken aback when they came to know that kohli and Kumble were not on talking terms for the last six months, another point has also come to the fore that the Cricket Advisory Committee(CAC), comprising the trio of Sachin tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and VVS Laxman,didn't give the green light for Kumble;s extension as head coach straightaway.

They had okayed the extension with a rider. "There had been reports that the CAC had okayed Kumble's extension.

They had said that Kumble should be retained provided all pending issues are resolved," a senior BCCI Official,who was present in London during the whole episode,he said
