Post the ICC Champions Trophy final, there were three separate meetings at the Indian team's hotel. The first was where Kumble met the BCCI top brass and members of CAC followed by Kohli meeting them. The last and the most 'eventful' meeting was when Kohli and Kumble were made to sit across the table. The talks failed completely as there was no communication.

"The two had stopped talking to each other since December when the England Test series got over. There were problems but it was shocking that the two didn't have any proper communication for the past six months. On Sunday evening after the final, they were made to sit across table and they both agreed that it's not working out," a senior BCCI official, who was present in London during the whole episode, revealed.
