After Gautam Gambhir’s appointment as the new head coach for Team India, the history of his clashes with Virat Kohli became the largest thing to talk about, as both players will now have to share the same dressing room. However, even though both of them have decided to let go of their past disputes during the IPL 2024 itself., their relationship was still a big thing to be discussed about.
Amongst all this discussion, former Indian cricketer Ashish Nehra, who is the senior of both Gambhir and Kohli from Delhi cricket, said that whatever happened between them was because both of them are passionate players.
Ashish said that he sees no problem emerging between Virat and Gambhir while they will be working together. He said that both of them are experienced cricketers and on a really good point of their careers.
“You are talking about Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. They are two passionate people. When they will play for any team, they are against the opposition. But when they are together in a dress room, they are together. Here you are talking about Virat Kohli who is 36-37 years old. He has that much experience. Gautam Gambhir has also gained more experience. And I agree with the fact that the burden is felt by people. And it’s not like Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, there are so many players who have been selected. But when they are playing for the same team, they have done a great job as a player. And you will see this in coach and captain and coach and senior players. Because Gautam Gambhir is that kind of personality, he is upfront. Transparent which is great, he talks in front. That is very important. I mean, see, there is a different style of the players to operate either coach, captain or player. But I don’t see any problem especially with these two and where they are in their careers,” said Ashish Nehra.
