After a COVID-19 scare in the camp, Team India have finally kicked off their preparations for upcoming white-ball series against West Indies. Despite the absence of Shikhar Dhawan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and Navdeep Saini, the Men in Blue have a star-studded squad at their disposal.

Much to the delight of everyone, India's newly-appointed white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma is fully fit to lead the side in 1st ODI set to be played on February 6, Sunday in Ahmedabad. The home side underwent a training session at Narendra Modi Stadium on Friday, the pictures of which were shared by BCCI on social media.

In the images, Shardul Thakur could be seen rolling his arms while Rishabh Pant and Virat Kohli's candid pics were also captured.

However, amid all the images, it was the pic of team huddle which stood out. While Rohit Sharma was seen addressing the team members as he took charge of Men in Blue, the netizens were quick to point out something in the photo.

Although all the players were sincerely listening to what Hitman had to say, Virat Kohli was captured not paying attention. The former Indian captain was looking in the other direction which gave an opportunity to fans on social media to come up with their own sarcastic comments.

As expected, people started trolling Kohli and one of the fans hilariously commented 'jealousy' on the image with laughing emojis.

There have been rumours on internet for many years regarding the indifferences between Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. While the two players have always clarified that it is just a made-up grudge and everything is fine between them, fans tend to believe otherwise.

As a result, these kind of memes and comments on social media are surely going to be surfacing every now and then in coming days, especially when Kohli will play under the captaincy of Hitman.

However, the only thing that cricket lovers would hope for, will be to see the duo rolling back the years and producing their fearless and explosive cricket, which made them one of the most feared top-order batsmen in white-ball cricket.
