Digital Desk: The ongoing ICC World Cup has not only showcased India's dominance on the cricket field but has also unveiled a heartwarming camaraderie between the once-not-so-friendly duo, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma.

The credit for this newfound bond is reportedly attributed to Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), who played the role of a peacemaker between the two cricketing superstars, as per Jagran News.

Speculation regarding a strained relationship between Kohli and Rohit had surfaced following Kohli's removal from the ODI captaincy in 2021. Reports suggested the existence of two factions within the team, each led by one of the iconic players. However, Jay Shah's behind-the-scenes efforts seem to have worked wonders, transforming the dynamics within the Indian cricket team.

The impact of this renewed camaraderie is not confined to personal relations alone. Team India is currently on a record-breaking winning streak, securing nine consecutive victories in the World Cup. This achievement surpasses the previous record of eight consecutive wins set during the 2015 World Cup.

The positive atmosphere seems to have permeated the entire squad, fostering a sense of unity and companionship among the players. On and off the field, the team is displaying remarkable synergy, overcoming challenges, and relishing triumphs together.

Recent instances of Kohli advising Rohit on the field during tough situations and Rohit lifting Kohli on his shoulders after a T20 World Cup win against Pakistan are indicative of the newfound camaraderie.

While the extent of Jay Shah's involvement in this transformation remains uncertain, the cricketing community and fans are undoubtedly relishing the visible bond between Kohli and Rohit. As India progresses in the World Cup, the unity within the team becomes a pivotal factor, adding an extra layer of excitement and optimism for fans eager to witness more of the Kohli-Rohit bromance.
