Gambhir created a sensation with this statement.
Gautam Gambhir said, ‘What kind of relationship do I have with Virat Kohli? I think it is a relationship between two mature individuals. On the field, everyone has the right to fight for their jersey and come back to the winning dressing room, but at the moment, we are representing India, representing 140 crore Indians and I am sure we are standing on the same path and will try to make India proud.’
Kohli talked a lot through messages.
Gautam Gambhir said, ‘I have a very good relationship with Virat Kohli off the field and I will continue it. But yes, to make it more public what kind of relationship it is. I think it is a relationship between two individuals. After my appointment to the post of head coach, Virat Kohli and I talked a lot through messages. I have a very good relationship with him. He is a world-class athlete and a world-class cricketer. We both will work hard to win matches for our Team India.’
