​Birmingham: India captain Virat Kohli on Saturday dismissed the speculated rift with coach Anil Kumble, stating that there were "no problems" with the chief coach and the entire episode was nothing but rumours.

"There are a lot speculations and lot of things being written by people without actually being part of the change room which is quite strange. There are no problems whatsoever," Kohli was curt while addressing the media ahead of the Champions Trophy opener against arch-rivals Pakistan.

On his journey with Kumble, he said, "It's been really good. The whole journey has been good." "Agreements and disagreemen­ts happen. I would not comment on things that I am not fully aware of. I would not speculate.

I think there is lack of patience right now and nobody admits mistakes. If you (media) write something and it goes wrong, have the heart to admit that you have gone wrong rather than saying that problem has been solved," Kohli said.

"When you don't know about something completely, don't spread rumours and speculate, just focus on cricket," he said. He did not elaborate on why the BCCI invited coaches' application despite Kumble's phenomenal record.
