When Anil Kumble resigned as the head coach of India it sparked a huge controversy. The fans were stunned by this decision as Kumble was doing a fair job in his tenure as the Indian Coach. Several reports suggested that Kumble and the India captain Virat Kohli did not get along really well.
Rumours were that Virat Kohli wanted Ravi Shastri as the head coach for team India. Kohli was constantly in touch with the BCCI and suggested them to replace Kumble as the coach.

Following the incident, Committee of Administration (COA) member Diana Edulji wrote an email in which she clearly mentioned that “rules were broken”, to replace Kumble with Shastri as the coach.

She also questioned the selection process behind Shastri’s appointment as the new coach. Even after the COA (Cricket Advisory Committee) had chosen Kumble over Shastri, BCCI surprised everyone when they extended the applications for the head coach. Shastri then came into the fray and applied for the post again and finally somehow became the Indian coach.
