Former Indian cricket player Gautam Gambhir shared his thoughts on his relationship with Virat Kohli and the subtleties of on-field behaviour, illuminating the complexity of their interactions both inside and outside of the cricket ground. Gambhir discussed how the media shapes public opinion, emphasizing how it often sensationalizes stories to boost viewership.
‘Media has no clue’
“It is all about TRPs. Media has got no clue what kind of a person I am, what kind of a person Virat is. All the media wants to do is create hype. But hype can also be created in a positive way,” Gambhir observed.
On-field spat, done and dusted
Gambhir and Kohli engaged in a fiery exchange during an IPL 2023 game between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. However, they buried their differences during the IPL 2024 game between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Kohli and Gambhir were seen hugging each other.
“I absolutely second what Virat said. Logon ka masala nahi mila toh (The gossip bit is over for people). As I said, when two people are mature enough, I don’t think so anyone has got any right to interfere between two people’s life or their relationships because ultimately, it is between two of them,” Gambhir said.

‘Need to learn Virat’s dance moves’
Gambhir also heaped praise on Virat Kohli’s dance moves, saying that he would like to learn some steps from the RCB batter.
“Even if I want to, I cannot pull off even one move. So if I had to learn something from Virat, it would be his dance moves,” Gambhir said.
