XtraTime Web Desk: After India lost the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup semis against New Zealand there has been a lots of talking regarding a possible rift between skipper Virat Kohli and vice captain Rohit Sharma.

But all those reports have been denied by Indian cricket team’s bowling coach Bharat Arun, who gave an interview to Sportstar and said that Kohli & Rohit share a very good relationship.

“It has to be seen to be believed. Rohit often runs up to Kohli to discuss things. They get along very well, share great admiration for each other’s ability. Kohli led the side well, is maturing as a captain and it’s nice that he has Rohit for support. The spirit in the camp was wonderful throughout,” Arun told Sportstar.

Talking about the team atmosphere and whether there are any difference of opinion in the dressing room, Arun said that everybody gets a chance to voice their opinion and the final decision is always a collective one.

“It’s not that we agree on everything. We have our arguments and discussions on various aspects like the composition of the team and the strategy. Everyone voices his opinion. But at the end of the day, the other person’s view is respected and a collective decision is taken,” Arun said during the interview.

The 56-year old play 2 Test matches and 4 ODIs for India in the 1980s and is currently in his second stint as India’s bowling coach.
