#1 Kohli's conflict with Anil Kumble

Perhaps this is the most controversial of them all. India's loss in the finals of the Champions Trophy was also the last match of Anil Kumble's tenure as the Indian coach as the Indian Captain Virat Kohli was unhappy with the management style of the coach.
The players were reportedly unhappy with the bossy style of management which deprived them of their freedom. Some reports suggested that the players were pushed too hard, and suffered a bulk of non-cricketing injuries.
It is widely reported that the Indian captain had been leading a silent campaign to have the then Indian coach shunted from the dressing room.
This type of incident was not new to Indian cricket. A similar event like this happened when the "Dada" Sourav Ganguly was not on the same page as Greg Chappell.
