Notably, talking about the loss with the media, Virat Kohli spoke about the ‘lack of intent’ of the Indian team. This move by the skipper didn’t go down well with at least one senior player on the team. Also, reports suggest that that senior cricketer even contacted the BCCI secretary Jay Shah about this statement by Kohli.

The source during a chat with The Telegraph India has said that several players in the team are not happy with the attitude of the Indian captain and he is no more an inspirational leader in the side.

 “Kohli is losing control. He has lost respect and some of the players are not liking his attitude. He is no more an inspirational leader and he doesn’t earn the players’ respect. Some of them have reached their limits when it comes to dealing with him,” the sources said.

Also, it has been told that when one of the coaches tried to give some suggestions to Virat Kohli for his batting Kohli shot back at the coach stating’ don’t confuse me.

“That Kohli failed to play a big innings has also complicated the issue. Recently, one of the coaches offered some suggestions at nets but the captain shot back saying ‘don’t confuse me’. He’s just failed to handle it and it’s showing in his aggressive behaviour,” the sources further added
