Just six months after quitting the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), cricket historian Ramchandra Guha compared the rift between former India coach Anil Kumble and skipper Virat Kohli to what happened between erstwhile all-rounder Vinoo Mankad and chief selector CK Naydu in 1952. Guha was speaking at an event to celebrate the 84th anniversary of the first Test on Indian soil between the Col CK Nayudu-led Indian team and Douglas Jardine-captained England side held from December 15 to 18, 1933 at Bombay Gymkhana.
