All is not well between Kohli and Gambhir?

A report has claimed that both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma do not have smooth relations with Gautam Gambhir. Both of them have increased their focus on ODI cricket after their retirement from T20 International and Test. According to the report, both want to play till 2027 World Cup, but the team management is not giving any guarantee that both will be part of the World Cup team. The report also said that during the preparations for the first ODI, there was no discussion between Kohli and Gambhir during the net session in Ranchi.

How much truth is there in the claims?

When Virat Kohli returned to the pavilion after playing a brilliant inning of 135 runs in Ranchi, Gautam Gambhir gave him a side-hug. A screenshot of this also went viral after the match. It is clear from this that the relationship between Gambhir and Kohli is not very bad, and it would be wrong to make any inference from a short clip.

India has taken a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI series against South Africa. The second ODI will be played on Wednesday, December 3 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. Team India would like to win that match and win the series.
