'These 2 factions have been formed in Team India, cricketers are not playing together for the country'

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has made a big disclosure about Team India. According to Shoaib Akhtar, there has been a big rift in Team India and it seems to be divided into two parts. Shoaib Akhtar said on his YouTube channel, 'There is a crack visible in this Team India and are its players not playing together for the country?

Shocking revelation about Team India

Shoaib Akhtar claimed that he already knew about Virat Kohli's decision to step down from Test captaincy. Shoaib Akhtar said that he was informed by some Indian journalists about Virat Kohli's decision to step down as Test captain. Virat Kohli stepped down as India's T20 captain and was later removed from the ODI captaincy.

On January 15, Virat Kohli surprised everyone by announcing that he would quit the Test captaincy. Some veterans were watching Kohli play for a few more years as Indian Test captain, but Shoaib Akhtar had already received information about Virat's decision to step down from Test captaincy.

'Virat was forced to step down as captain'

Shoaib Akhtar said, 'When I was in Dubai, some journalists from India, who are my friends, told me what was going to happen to Kohli. I thought he might continue as Test captain, but it happened just as my friends in India told me. I will not take his name. He told me that Virat might be forced to step down as India's Test captain.

These 2 factions have been formed in Team India

Shoaib Akhtar said, 'Ravi Shastri did a great job as a coach. Now the time of Shastri and Kohli is over. What does it represent? Is there a big rift in the team? Are they not playing together for the country? These are questions that have no answer. There is a crack visible in this team and it will be interesting to see what the management does to come out of it.

Indian cricket in critical condition

Shoaib Akhtar said, 'With the performance that India has performed recently, I cannot believe that the players are playing together. This team looks broken and scattered. As Kohli resigned as captain, India is no longer performing. I see a lot of unrest. Indian cricket is in a critical condition.
