Gautam Gambhir on his what equation he shares with Virat Kohli

Considering they have locked horns in the past and have been cordial lately, fans are jumbled over exactly what equation the two stalwarts of Indian cricket share. Gautam Gambhir addressed the topic and made it known that the country does not need to know what his relationship with Virat Kohli is like and made it known that it whatever it may be it is not to give "masala to the public." He further said that he admits Kohli has the same right to be expressive and help his team win as him.

"My relation with Virat Kohli is something this country doesn't need to know. He has as much right as I do to express himself and help our respective teams win. Our relation is not to give masala to the public." Gambhir told Sportskeeda.

In the past, the two have admitted to having mutual respect for each other but considering the expressive nature the two have, it would be intriguing to note whether the scenes that made headlines in IPL 2024 will prevail again or not. Moreover, there are striking speculations that Gautam Gambhir could become the new head coach of Team India. Should Gambhir get appointed as the new coach of India, all eyes would be on how the coach and batting general will gel for the betterment of the team.
