India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak has denied reports about a breakdown in communication between head coach Gautam Gambhir and star batter Virat Kohli, insisting that the two talk to each other '10 times a day.'

The denial comes amid growing speculation that the head coach and the star batsman have not been on speaking terms during training sessions. Rumours even surfaced suggesting that the BCCI had been advised to bring in a mediator to facilitate a meeting so the duo could resolve their alleged differences.
