: The Indian team is going on a tour of Sri Lanka to play a 3-match T20 and an equal number of ODI series under the leadership of new head coach Gautam Gambhir. Before this tour, Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar held a press conference in Mumbai. During the press conference, a statement given by Gautam Gambhir regarding his relationship with Virat Kohli has created a sensation.
Let us tell you that Team India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has not had good relations with star batsman Virat Kohli in the past. This is evident from the many clashes between the two in the IPL. However, now both will work together from the T20 and ODI tour of Sri Lanka from July 27. During a press conference in Mumbai today, Gambhir said, ‘My relationship with Virat Kohli is between the two of us and is not for TRP.
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 right now, 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 as the 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, a world class cricketer. We both will work hard to win matches for our Team India.’
