"His point of view is out there and we respect that". He's taken a decision to step out. There's no taking away that aspect of him at all. The issue has been festering for a quite a while now, with the origins being traced back as far as the Test series with Australia.
Anil Kumble is not a quitter and his exit after India's shocking defeat at the hands of Pakistan in the Champions Trophy needs to be investigated. "And we all respect him totally".
He, however, did not offer what led to Kumble's resignation coach on Tuesday, three days before the start of the limited-overs series in the West Indies. There are some serious accusations on Kohli of abusing Kumble and having some verbal fights during the team meetings.
"We have created a culture over the last three-four years that whatever happens in the changing room, we've tried to maintain the sanctity of the changing room throughout", he said. "If a legendary cricketer like Anil Kumble is not respected, I do not think neither of them - Bangar and Sridhar - will have the guts to speak to Kohli in a confident way".
"It's his opinion, which I respect". One thing for sure is that I've had 11 press conferences that have happened during the Champions Trophy. That is what the whole team believes in.

Monday's talks marked the start of what will be one of the most politically sensitive worldwide negotiations of modern times. There's a long way to go but we're off to a promising start. "In a first step, we will deal with the most pressing issues".
In contrast the Indians have as many as eight players from their touring party who featured in that fixture headed by proven match-winners Kohli and wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Moreover, the 28-year old also refused to comment on whether the rift could have any adverse effects on the team's performances, saying, "See as I mentioned, for me it is important to maintain the sanctity of the change room".
That series was played concurrently with the Champions Trophy, serving to highlight the steep decline of the former winners who failed for the first time in 42 years to qualify for a major International Cricket Council event. The Indian team will be without a coach in the tour to the West Indies, where they play five ODIs and one-off T20 match starting at Port of Spain later today.
Kumble was appointed coach in June 2016 for a one-year term by the CAC and was instantly successful.
"I don't think they will be able to continue till the next World Cup in 2019, they will be 38 then". In the absence of a coach, MV Sridhar, GM - Cricket Operations of BCCI, will supervise the team management on the tour.
