All is not well in Indian cricket? Mohammed Shami-Rohit Sharma in heated exchange over ‘swollen knee’ remark

Live Mint  

Amidst calls for Mohammed Shami's return to the Indian team in Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a report stating India pacer's rift with captain Rohit Sharma has created quite a buzz. Following Indian bowlers' lackluster show save Jasprit Bumrah in the second Test in Adelaide, calls for Shami's inclusion in the Indian team has gotten louder as it would strengthen the pace attack in the final three Tests against Australia. Based on a Dainik Jagran report, Rohit met Shami at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru in the middle of the Test series against New Zealand and didn't had a smooth conversation. During their meeting, the two had a heated exchange over the captain's remark on Shami when asked about his current status and availability for the New Zealand and Australia Test series," the media outlet quoted a source as saying.
