Vimal Kumar narrated a story related to the launch of his book ‘Sachin: Cricketer of the Century’ in an episode of ‘2 Slaggers’ on YouTube. He told how he convinced MS Dhoni to come to the book launch. Vimal Kumar had to play the emotional card with Dhoni so that Dhoni would agree to attend his book launch. Dhoni’s heart winning style Vimal Kumar said, “I told Dhoni that my father does not know much about cricket, but he recognizes you and Sachin Tendulkar. My father said he will come only if you are there.” To this Dhoni laughed and said, “Now you are playing the emotional card?!” And then Dhoni accepted Vimal’s request. Simplicity of Sachin and Dhoni: Dhoni not only agreed to attend Vimal Kumar’s book launch, but also ensured that Vimal Kumar does not have to spend too much on travel. He suggested that he travel in the same car with Sachin Tendulkar, so that extra expenses can be avoided. He further told about the event “When Sachin and Dhoni came out of the car together, I was so impressed with Sachin that I forgot Dhoni was also there. Later I apologised to him and Dhoni brushed it off saying ‘I can understand because it was my moment’. After that all three of us laughed.” Dhoni touched the feet of Vimal Kumar’s father The most beautiful moment of the book launch came when MS Dhoni touched the feet of Vimal Kumar’s father and took his blessings. Vimal told, “Dhoni touched my father’s feet before taking the book, and this surprised the media. He talked with my family for 40-45 minutes in the regional language, which made them feel that Dhoni is a very close friend of mine.”

Gautam Gambhir told how he was discriminated against in the Under-14 tournament. Gambhir said- “I was probably 12 or 13 when I first tried out for the under-14 tournament, but I wasn’t selected because the selectors didn’t like it. Since then I promised myself that I would never fall at anyone’s feet and would never let anyone fall at my feet.” Gautam Gambhir further said that whenever he faces failure, his family background is also mentioned. He says- “I remember when I failed in my career, be it Under-16, Under-19, Ranji Trophy or the beginning of my international career. People used to say that you are from a rich family, you do not need to play cricket. You have many options, you can also go into your father’s business. But I wanted to respond to this thinking of people.” In the same show, Gambhir also revealed about his relationship with KKR co-owner Shahrukh Khan. Gambhir said on Ravichandran Ashwin’s YouTube channel- “I’ve said this many times before, I think everyone I’ve ever worked with Shahrukh Khan The best team owner. Not because I am back in KKR now. This is because in the seven years of my captaincy, we have not talked about cricket even for 70 seconds. You can imagine?” When Gautam Gambhir was the captain, under his leadership he led KKR to the championship in 2012 and 2014. Gautam Gambhir has contributed a lot not only to IPL but also to Indian cricket. He played an important role in India winning the 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup.
