Kumble, a legendary India cricketer, stepped down as the coach of the Indian cricket team after he was informed that the captain was not happy with him.

Organise travel schedule
Fix hotel rooms
Be obedient to BCCI and Indian cricket captain.
Goenka targetted Dhoni on several occasions during the IPL and tried to justify RPS management's decision of sacking Dhoni as the captain of the franchise. The 59-year-old never left an opportunity to show Dhoni's finishing skills are on the wane and that Steve Smith was the best choice as the captain.
The industrialist has now attacked Kohli for the latter's involvement in Kumble's resignation.
Kumble was offered a one-year contract in 2016 and was given one-tour extension after the ICC Champoins Trophy 2017. However, he, at the last minute, opted out of the trip to the Caribbean islands, saying that the relationship with captain was "untenable".
Several former India cricketers expressed their displeasure with the way Kumble, India's legendary bowler, was treated by Kohli as well as the BCCI. Sunil Gavaskar termed the entire episode as very sad.
