Reports of Indian cricket team rift exaggerated: Rajiv Shukla

New Delhi, Feb 24 (ANI): Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI) Vice-President Rajeev Shukla on Friday denied reports of any rift in the Indian team, which is currently playing a tri-series in Australia

"All the reports that are coming up concerning Dhoni (Mahendra Singh Dhoni), Sehwag (Virender Sehwag) are all wrong. There is no rift in the team, neither between Dhoni and Sehwag nor any other player; no groupism is going on," Shukla told media here.

"These are all media speculations; a group of media is speculating all these things and a new story is being formed everyday. This is the reason, why Sehwag's statement is also manipulated," said Shukla.

Speculation within media has been rife over the last few days over issues between team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and batsman Virender Sehwag. (ANI)
