Stories of a rift between captain Virat Kohli and head coach Anil Kumble have upset the Indian camp here, sources said, though there has been no official denial about the so-called differences between the two.

"Virat and Anil are behaving very normally, like any captain and captain. There is not a trace of ill feeling," said a source.
