Gambhir-Virat’s friendship is getting closer
When Gautam Gambhir was not the head coach of Team India, it was often believed that his relationship with Virat Kohli was very strained. But when he became the head coach, people’s illusion was shattered. Both Virat and Gambhir have a lot of respect for each other and recently BCCI posted a video of both of them saying many such things which won the hearts of the fans.

Virat Kohli practiced
Gambhir and Virat Kohli share a good relationship but now their aim will be to raise the flag in the Kanpur Test. Team India registered a one-sided victory in the Chennai Test but Virat’s bat remained quiet there as well. Virat could score only 6 runs in the first innings of the Chennai Test and 17 runs in the second innings. The thing to note here is that this year has not been good at all for Virat Kohli. Virat Kohli certainly scored a half-century in the final of the T20 World Cup but apart from this, no big innings was seen with his bat. Virat has scored only 319 runs at an average of 18.76 in 15 international matches in the year 2024. He has managed to score only one half-century. Virat played 2 Tests this year and scored only 81 runs. He managed only 58 runs in 3 ODIs and only 180 runs in 10 T20s at an average of 18, including one half-century.
