Gautam Gambhir on his relationship with Virat Kohli

Addressing the media frenzy around his relationship with Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir clarified that the public perception often diverges from reality. He emphasized that both he and Kohli are dedicated to their respective teams and their expressions of passion are part of their commitment to winning.

"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 asserted.

Gautam Gambhir won the IPL 2024 final as a mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR defeated SRH by 8 wickets to clinch their third IPL trophy on Sunday, May 26. Gambhir played a crucial role in the team's success this season. He returned to KKR ahead of IPL 2024 auction and made some big decisions to turn things in favour of the franchise. Gambhir has previously won two IPL titles with KKR as a captain of the side.
