From starting their careers with the same domestic team to sharing the Indian team dressing room and even collaborating as coach and player, Kohli and Gambhir's journey together has been anything but ordinary. Although the media frequently tries to dig up old grudges and stir the pot, it is clear that time has mellowed the once-volatile relationship between the two.

Piyush Chawla on Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli 's Relation

Former India cricketer Piyush Chawla recently shed light on the current state of affairs between Kohli and Gambhir during an interview with Shubhankar Mishra. Chawla recalled an incident that exemplifies the cordiality between the two cricketers and underscores the media's inclination to sensationalize their past disputes.

"I and Gauti bhai were doing a show. A question was asked 'When Virat completed his 50th century, which bowled did he take the single off? I couldn't answer it, but Gambhir did it. And he's like 'Now don't say there's any tiff. Gauti bhai is all class. He is one of the best," Chawla said on Shubhankar Mishra's YouTube channel.

Chawla’s anecdote highlights a moment of camaraderie and mutual respect between Gambhir and Kohli, challenging the media’s persistent narrative of conflict.

As the cricketing world moves forward, it’s evident that both Kohli and Gambhir have embraced the essence of maturity and respect. The media’s quest for "Masala" stories may continue, but for those who have witnessed the true nature of their relationship, the focus remains on celebrating their contributions to the game rather than dwelling on bygone disputes.
