Speaking to the media in a pre-departure press conference ahead of the tour of South Africa, starting December 26, Kohli said things are fine between the two superstars of Indian cricket as he quashed rumours of a rift between them. “Between Rohit and I, there is no problem at all. Honestly, over the last 2, 2 and half years, I have been clarifying this.

I am tired of doing it. Again and again, the same question is being asked of me. I will tell you one thing with a guarantee that my actions and my communications will never bring down the team till the time I play cricket,” Virat Kohli said.

Notably, Rohit had spoken highly of Kohli’s contribution and his role in the side when he spoke to the BCCI after being announced as full-time limited-overs captain earlier this month. However, rumours of a rift resurfaced when reports claimed that Kohli won’t be available for the ODI series in South Africa, starting January 19.
