During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a lot of rumours broke into the scene that the Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, has a rift with the head coach, Gautam Gambhir. The tension arose especially when Rohit Sharma opted out from the playing XI in the Sydney test, without any formal declaration. However, speaking to the ABP India At 2047 Summit, Gambhir brushes off all rumours, saying that both share mutual respect and professionalism. he said, “This has only been said by a few people who are running YouTube channels or so-called 'experts' sitting there just for TRP. We won the Champions Trophy just two months ago—imagine if we hadn’t. What kind of questions would you be asking me then?” He seemed stunned to find out how such rumors are still selling hotcakes even after winning the 2025 Champions Trophy. He added, “Just two months ago, a coach and captain won the Champions Trophy together, and now you're asking about my relation with Rohit. I respect him as a human being and a cricketer. What he has done for India is incredible. I’ve had a lot of time for someone like him since the day he came into the team, and that won’t change.” Read also: India’s Refusal Could Cost PCB & BCB Over ₹350 Cr in Revenue Just two Delhi boys having fun: Gambhir on Kohli Gautam Gambhir earlier did not have a good rapport with the Indian batting star Virat Kohli. Especially while leading Kolkata Knight Riders, he was seen engaging in a heated exchange with the vintage rowdy Kohli. Even after Kohli calmed down, he got involved with Gambhir in another argument regarding Naveen-ul-Haq. Gambhir then was serving Lucknow Super Giants as a mentor. However, after Gambhir joined the Indian team, the bond between him and Kohli started blooming, with them gradually sharing lighthearted conversations and fun times. Their relationship has often come to the limelight and yet again, he was asked about his bond with Kohli. Gambhir said, “It’s just two Delhi boys having fun. If that’s a problem, I’ll tell the BCCI to stop posting about it.”
