After 18 years, there are reports of unrest coming from within the Indian team during another ICC event. A few days ago, there were reports of a rift between coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar.
According to a report published in an English media outlet, a heated argument broke out between Gambhir and Agarkar in a meeting before the team selection. The discussion was mainly about who would be the second wicketkeeper in the Champions Trophy squad.
This time, some fuel has been added to the fire. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is reportedly not happy with coach Gautam Gambhir's decision. Several English media outlets have also claimed that there has been unrest in the Indian team's dressing room over it.

Gautam Gambhir has already stated that KL Rahul is their preferred wicketkeeper for the Champions Trophy. Pant may get a chance only if Rahul is unable to play for some reason.
India is playing three one-day matches against England before the Champions Trophy. Rahul has been played there. Rahul did not score runs in the first two matches. In the third match, he scored 40 runs. And this is what Rishabh Pant is angry about.
Pant did not get a chance to play ODIs after returning after the accident. According to sources, Pant is against the way he is being left out without being given a chance. He wanted to play a few matches. Pant has no objection to being replaced if he flops there.
Sources say that the whole matter was discussed in the dressing room. However, neither Gambhir nor Pant has spoken out publicly on the matter. However, cricket experts believe that such repeated reports of unrest from within the team before the mega tournament is not a good sign.
