Another facet of the Virat Kohli-Anil Kumble split has come to the fore after the SC-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) member Diana Edulji alleged that CoA chief Vinod Rai acted upon Kohli's texts to BCCI CEO Rahul Johri, which led to the departure of coach Anil Kumble.

Rai in his email stated that unlike T20 skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and her deputy Smriti Mandhana, who had emailed the BCCI, appealing for an extension to coach Ramesh Powar till the next T20 World Cup, no one sent emails pointing to their preferred coach in the controversy surrounding the men's team.
