Team India ace batter Virat Kohli was spotted having an animated talk with a member of the selection committee, and former India spinner, Pragyan Ojha. The pair were seated alongside each other at the airport during the squad's journey to Raipur for the second ODI against South Africa, scheduled for Wednesday, December 3. Pragyan Ojha was recently included in the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee, along with former pacer RP Singh, in place of S Sarath and Subroto Banerjee. While Ajit Agarkar and a handful of other members of the selection committee are stationed to monitor the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy matches ahead of a T20 heavy season, Pragyan Ojha was with the Indian team. In a clip that has gone viral on social media, Kohli was seen expressing his thoughts and concerns with a grave look on his face while Ojha was seen nodding along by his side. Have a glimpse of the interaction right here: Pragyan Ojha was also spotted sitting alongside head coach Gautam Gambhir, a few seats away, with Rohit Sharma also in the vicinity. If reports are to be believed, the team atmosphere of the ODI team is in a dire state at the moment, courtesy of some serious friction between the senior figures in the squad and the team management. The selectors and the team management took a massive call recently by removing Rohit Sharma from the captaincy post, and handing over the role to Shubman Gill. There is still a massive lack of clarity regarding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as far as the 2027 ODI World Cup is concerned, amid the management's desire to trigger the transition. Virat Kohli made a massive statement with his hundred in IND vs SA 2025 1st ODI Virat Kohli made a resounding statement in the series opener against South Africa after a shaky series in Australia to mark his international comeback. The ace player struck his 52nd ODI hundred, with a contribution of 135 runs off 120 deliveries, helping India post 349-8. The Men in Blue were able to take a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the clash by 17 runs. "I have never been a big believer of a lot of preparation. All my cricket has been mental. I work hard on my fitness and as long as I mentally in a good space, I will be able to score the runs. If I'm arriving somewhere I give my 120 percent. I came a few days back and I'm 37 so I also need to look after recovery," Virat Kohli said during the post-match presentation after being named man of the match. Following the culmination of the match, several frosty interactions between the senior players and Gautam Gambhir were observed, which do not bode well for anyone at this stage.
