Gautam Gambhir On His Relationship With Kohli

However, the controversy was resolved in 2024 when Gambhir and Kohli ‘hugged it out’ during the IPL. In a recent interview, Gambhir discussed his relationship with Kohli, stating he wouldn’t provide any ‘masala’ (spicy gossip) for the public.

“The perception is far away from the reality. 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 public,” Gambhir said.

Gambhir is a leading contender to replace Rahul Dravid as the head coach of the Indian cricket team. Under his mentorship, Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2024 title, decisively defeating Sunrisers Hyderabad by eight wickets in the final.

“People are very disappointed with my behaviour. I hugged Naveen, and then the other day, Gauti bhai (Gautam Gambhir) came and hugged me. Your masala is over so you’re booing. We’re not kids anymore,” Kohli mentioned

Dravid’s tenure as head coach will conclude after the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. However, media reports indicate that the BCCI is not rushing to name his successor. Currently, the players are focused on the competition, with their attention solely on winning the T20 World Cup trophy.
