Virat Kohli has dismissed rumours of dressing-room unrest in the Indian team, saying there is no problem at all and praising his camaraderie with captain Shubman Gill.

Speaking after his ODI century against the West Indies, Kohli addressed speculation that has followed the team’s leadership change. He said the noise around the dressing room does not reflect reality. He spoke to reporters after the innings, addressing weeks of speculation head-on.

Kohli described his bond with Gill as strong, adding that the two share a good understanding on and off the field. A BCCI video of the pair talking had earlier fuelled talk online, which Kohli’s comments now aim to settle.

The veteran batter’s hundred was his latest reminder of form, coming at a time when the team is building towards future series under its new captain.

What happens next: Kohli will look to carry his form forward, and the management will hope his words end the speculation around the squad’s mood.
