Gambhir, Virat shared text messages; new coach says he has ‘huge respect’ for star batsman

Gambhir and Kohli have shared the dressing room together at Delhi as well as India. After Kohli scored his maiden ODI century, Gambhir even gave away his man of the match award to him.

Ever since Gautam Gambhir was announced as head coach, the cricketing world wondered how he would get along with Virat Kohli, since the two Delhi cricketers have had few public spats in the past. And addressing the media for the first time since taking over as India’s head coach Gambhir said he had a very good off-field relationship with Kohli.

“My relationship is not public,” Gambhir said. “What kind of relationship do I share with Kohli? I think it’s between two mature individuals on the field. Everyone has got the right to fight for their own team for their own jersey, and come back to a winning dressing room,” he said about the instances where both of them have been involved in verbal altercations on the field in the IPL.
