Title: Both Gambhir and Kohli will be putting in a lot of effort to make India proud. After being named the Indian team's coach earlier this month, Gautam Gambhir has said that he has had chats with star batsman Virat Kohli and that there are no problems between them. He also explained that the competitive aspect of the sport Every player wants to go back to his dressing room as a winner—was the reason behind their previous conflicts, which were caught on video during IPL games. "My relationship with Virat is good," he joked. Recolliding their history of face-offs, the new coach remarked, "(It was) good for the TRPs," before clarifying that his connection is private. "It's between two mature individuals." In an attempt to clarify, he said that the instances would not affect their calculation as national representatives. "Everyone has the right to defend their own jersey on the field and return to the winning locker room. However, we are currently representing 140 crore Indians, therefore I'm confident we will be in agreement and work to make India proud. Off the field, I have excellent relationships with people and will keep doing so. However, in order to clarify for the public what kind of connection this is, I believe it is between two people." When questioned specifically if he has spoken with Kohli, Gambhir said that they had spoken. "We've spoken on the phone a lot. We've exchanged mails. It doesn't matter what we talked about or how many conversations I've had with him—before, during, or after my announcement as coach—what we talked about. Sometimes, things are unimportant, just because we want to make headlines. The most crucial thing at this moment is that we will both be working really hard to bring pride to India. And that's what we do." Gambhir was likewise full of compliments for batsman Kohli. "He's a world-class player, world-class athlete, and meticulous professional. It's what I've always said. I will always have the utmost regard for him as a player. And maybe we can collaborate incredibly effectively."
When asked how long he envisioned Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli playing for India, he replied that it was up to the players. How much cricket is left in them is beyond me. How much they can do to help the team succeed is ultimately up to them. In the end, what matters is the team. However, considering what Virat and Rohit are capable of, I believe they still have a lot (left). They are still elite athletes." "Rohit and Virat only have two forms to manage now that they aren't playing T20 cricket. Thus, they will be accessible for the majority of the games. Since Bumrah is a unique kind of bowler that anyone would want, it is our duty to make every effort to keep him fresh for the majority of the big games. Thus, workload management becomes crucial for fast bowlers as well as Bumrah." In the upcoming five to six months, India will play ten Test matches, and Gambhir acknowledged that this will be difficult. "It would have been difficult to seize control of all three formats at once. Following the Sri Lanka tour, there was a month-long hiatus before we played ten Test matches (two against Bangladesh, three against New Zealand, and five against Australia). That's not too bad, in my opinion, as you'll be playing those ten Test matches nonstop leading up to the major Australian tour. Above all, I am extremely enthusiastic about it and I hope we can perform exceptionally well in those ten Test matches. Additionally, as the chairman, Ajit Agarkar, has already stated, some of the players who were supposed to be on this Sri Lankan tour did not make it since there are ten Test matches, and a player like Ravindra Jareja is crucial to each of those ten Test matches. I am excited for every one of those games." In addition, Gambhir disclosed that Sairaj Bahutule would serve as bowling coach, T Dilip as fielding coach, Ryan ten Doeschate as assistant coach, and Abhishek Nayar as assistant coach for the forthcoming Sri Lanka trip.
