New Delhi: In a surprising turn of events, former Indian cricketers Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli sat down for an unprecedented interview, shedding light on their past altercations and newfound camaraderie. The interview, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was a part of the promotional activities ahead of the India vs. Bangladesh Test series.
The conversation took an unexpected twist when Gambhir brought up the topic of on-field altercations. Known for their fiery personalities and past clashes, the duo’s discussion was both candid and revealing. Kohli, who is often seen as intense and focused, broke character and laughed heartily at Gambhir’s remarks.
The Interview Highlights
During the chat, Kohli asked Gambhir about his mindset during altercations with opponents. Gambhir’s response was both humorous and insightful. “You have had more altercations than I have. I think you can answer that question better than I can,” Gambhir quipped, leaving Kohli in splits.
Kohli, in a rare moment of vulnerability, admitted, “Main to yeh dhund raha hun ki koi meri baat se agree kar jaaye. Ye nahi bol raha ki galat hai. Koi to bole ‘haan, yahi hota hai’ (I am only looking for someone who agrees with what I have to say. Not saying that it is wrong. At least someone should say, yes this is what happens)”.
A New Chapter
The interview not only provided a glimpse into their personal growth but also highlighted their shared goal of taking Indian cricket to greater heights. As Kohli continues to play a pivotal role in the team and Gambhir takes on the mantle of head coach, their collaboration is set to bring a new dynamic to Indian cricket.
This once-in-a-lifetime chat between two of India’s cricketing giants has certainly left fans eagerly awaiting more such interactions. The full interview is expected to be released soon, promising more insights and lighter moments between the two legends.
