Almost everyone wanted Anil Kumble to continue as the Indian Cricket Team coach. But, the former Indian captain decided to put down his papers, after his equation with the team and captain reached a point of no return.
India captain Virat Kohli raised objection against Kumble’s continuation as coach. Additionally, many players also complained about Kumble’s attitude. And, the former great decided to step-down from the role.
Kumble tweeted, “though BCCI attempted to resolve misunderstandings between the captain and me, it was apparent that the partnership was untenable, and I therefore believe it is best for me to move on.”

BCCI said, “Mr Anil Kumble has withdrawn his services as post of the head coach. While the Cricket Advisory Committee had endorsed an extension to his tenure. Mr Kumble has decided not to continue as the coach.”
After the Champions Trophy final Kumble had one-on-one talk with some of the players. Meanwhile, his communications with captain Kohli broken completely. And, it was clearly visible in England.
Also, Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC) efforts to solve the disputes between captain and coach failed badly.
