The great thing you did was that you (Kohli) created a very strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir Virat Kohli & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: Getty/X) A new era of Indian Test cricket began under Virat Kohli’s captaincy. India won 40 out of 68 Test matches, which is the most Test matches won by any Indian captain in history. Kohli changed the nature of the team and focused on the growth of fast bowlers. During Virat Kohli’s tenure, bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma and Umesh Yadav dominated in overseas conditions. Meanwhile, Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir has praised Virat Kohli for building a strong bowling line-up during his tenure. Virat has created a strong bowling unit – Gautam Gambhir During a conversation with BCCI, Gautam Gambhir told Virat Kohli, The great thing you did was that you built a very strong bowling unit. Test matches are won by taking 20 wickets. Unless you have a strong bowling line-up (one cannot win) and that is what makes you the most successful Test captain of the country. Credit goes to you. As a batsman, it is easy to have a strong six, seven batsmen, but the way you identified and more importantly, your attitude on the field with the fast bowlers. Winning overseas with bowlers like Shami, Bumrah, Ishant, Umesh. Under the leadership of Virat Kohli, India has won Test matches in England, South Africa and Australia, where the team used to struggle earlier. Let us tell you, Team India was number-1 in the ICC Test rankings from 2017-2021. Bumrah is the most complete bowler across all formats: Virat Kohli Talking about the bowling culture of Team India, Virat Kohli emphasized that Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. While Zaheer Khan is one of the legendary players. He described Bumrah as an all-format bowler and Mohammed Shami as the most important player in the Test team. When you talk about Ishant Sharma, the first thing that comes to my mind is the match he played against Ricky Ponting (during the 2007-08 tour) in Perth. If you talk about his cricket career, Ishant Sharma has played more than 100 Test matches for India. Zaheer Khan has taken a lot of wickets for India in Test cricket and was brilliant in the 50-over World Cup. Mohammed Shami is not a world famous bowler because he is a great T20 bowler. He is one of the best Test bowlers in the world and what he did in the 50-over World Cup has increased his importance even more. Bumrah is the most complete bowler in all formats.

Virat changed the entire game by scoring 183 runs while batting at number three and Team India registered a spectacular victory by 6 wickets in the match. Gautam Gambhir said in the video, I saw you make your debut. Played a very good, crucial innings on a difficult wicket against West Indies in the Champions Trophy in South Africa (England), against a very good attack, and then probably the best ODI innings played by an Indian. This is not entirely based on any point of view, because players have scored double centuries. This is the best innings I have seen, chasing 300+ against Pakistan… So you have come a long way. These are really special things and the most important thing is how you have taken Indian cricket forward, the legacy you have left for the next generation. Let us tell you, in December 2009, when Virat Kohli scored a century in the ODI match against Sri Lanka, Gautam Gambhir played an innings of 150 runs in the same match and was selected as the Player of the Match. But in the post-match presentation, Gambhir handed over his award to young Virat. Gambhir and Virat have played a big role in helping Team India win many big matches.

The fights between the two are quite famous in IPL Now Gambhir is the head coach of Team India and Kohli is the batting base of Team India, both are working together. But there was a time when there were many instances of discord between the two during the IPL. The most notable incident is from the year 2013 IPL, when there was a match between Gambhir’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). After Kohli was out, Gautam and him had a heated argument. Both the captains clashed aggressively with each other on the field and the umpires and players had to intervene to calm the situation. Then in the year 2023, both Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100% of their match fees due to a brawl after the RCB vs LSG match. Everyone will remember this fight. When Gautam Gambhir gave his award to Kohli But there was a time when the mutual respect and sportsmanship between the two was evident on the field. The best example of that mutual respect and sportsmanship is their 224-run partnership against Sri Lanka at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 24 December 2009. Chasing a target of 316, both Gambhir and Kohli scored centuries as India won the match with 7 wickets in hand. Gambhir remained unbeaten on 150 and Kohli was dismissed on 107 after scoring his first ODI century. But, despite being named Man of the Match, Gambhir decided to share the award with Kohli. Gambhir took this decision acknowledging the importance of Kohli’s first century. He also praised Kohli’s calm and maturity during the run chase and handed over his award to Kohli, displaying great sportsmanship and team spirit.

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.
