‘To be honest, he was not a friend’, Aakash Chopra opens up about his relationship with Gautam Gambhir
We were competitors in the beginning.

Chopra talked about the personality of the Indian team’s head coach as well as some aspects that he lacked. To be honest, he was not a friend- Aakash Chopra “We (Gambhir and I) were competitive because we were fighting for a spot. We had a very good team. When we were playing, either (Virat) Kohli or (Shikhar) Dhawan would get to play. In fact, there was no place for Veeru (Virender Sehwag) to open. Veeru batted at number four so that we could play one of Shikhar and Virat at number three,” the former cricketer said on the Figuring Out podcast hosted by Raj Shamani. We were competitors in the beginning. To be honest, he was not a friend. But he was a very passionate, very hardworking and very serious person about his skills. He scored a lot of runs. He always followed his heart. He was very emotional and very short tempered. Chopra continued, “He is a good-hearted person. Comes from a very affluent family. For a kid like that to have that kind of passion…he would be on the field all day. He was born with a golden spoon, not even a silver one. It is a different journey, like Abhinav Bindra. Gautam has a very clean heart.” Let us tell you that Gautam Gambhir won his first series as the Indian head coach, which was the T20 series against Sri Lanka. However, after this the Indian team had to face defeat in the ODI series.

He had a calf injury which he initially thought was probably a minor injury, but it forced him to pull himself together and, as he often does, in international cricket and for CSK, he tried to be useful and Figured out a way to contribute for CSK.” Regarding MS Dhoni’s retirement, Suresh Raina told Geo Cinema, “Rituraj Gaikwad needs more time to mature, so MS Dhoni should play one more season.” Now amidst all this, it will be interesting to see whether MS Dhoni plays in the next IPL season or not.

Responding to this, Kohli said, “I don’t know, maybe business. To be honest, I never thought. I didn’t know how to run a business at all, but now I know a little. If I had done business without cricket, people would have fooled me 200%. Now I know how to do business a little, with a lot of pressure and deception. Business without cricket, 200% everyone would have fooled me, now, after facing many betrayals and difficulties, I am slowly learning.” Kohli, along with his wife Anushka Sharma, has ventured into several other businesses including investing in brands like Rage Coffee, fitness center Chisel, menswear brand WROGN and Blue Tribe. He has also invested in a few restaurants, one of which is One8 Commune.
