PTI news today. Mumbai Mafia and the Bong gangup against Dravid.
Beleaguered Indian captain Rahul Dravid is under pressure from the senior players who are operating like a 'mafia', according to a private TV channel.
Quoting unnamed sources, the TV channel said the senior players in the team were operating like a 'mafia' and coach Greg Chappell had expressed his anger with the player's 'mafia'.
The sources were quoted as saying that the senior players "hammer and abuse" juniors and don't give them a "chance".
They said that Chappell was not averse to staying on as the coach provided the same sets of players were not retained.
The growing rift between some players in the team has been widely reported in a section of the media in the recent past. After India's disastrous first round exit from the World Cup last month, there have been several reports of the players being divided into camps and not acting like a team.
