Days after BCCI announced that Kumble will continue as the head coach till the end of West Indies tour, Jumbo stepped down from his post citing the 'reservations' which Kohli had with his coaching style.


Fans were clearly unhappy with Kohli and while many slammed him for the move, some also demanded the Indian board to sack him from the captain's post.


Here's how they reacted:









Kumble`s resignation came two days after India`s 180-run loss to Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final.


However, India board officials praised 46-year-old Kumble, who was put in charge of coaching last June, for his tenure.


"We wish to place on record our sincere appreciation for the immense contribution by Anil Kumble to the team which enabled India to attain the No.1 Test position," acting BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary said.


"Indian cricket needs his continued contribution in various capacities and wishes him all the best in his future endeavour."


The BCCI has retained the rest of its coaching staff for the West Indies series, with MV Sridhar supervising the team`s management.


India will play five one-day internationals in the Caribbean, with a Twenty20 international wrapping up the trip on July 9.
