Discussions about the relationship between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir (Virat Kohli-Gautam Gambhir relation) are ongoing.

Gautam Gambhir (Gautam Gambhir on Virat Kohli) has now addressed this topic again.
During IPL 2023, Gambhir and Kohli had a heated exchange on the field. Since then, there has been continuous discussion about their relationship. After becoming the head coach of Team India, Gambhir attended his first press conference on July 22. When asked about his relationship with Kohli, Gambhir said:
“My relationship with Virat Kohli is not for TRP (Television Rating Points). Currently, we are representing India. We are representing 140 crore (1.4 billion) Indians. Off the field, I have a very good relationship with him, but it’s not something that needs to be shown to the public. It’s not important how much I have spoken to him during or after a match. Kohli is a professional and world-class athlete, and I expect him to continue performing at his best.”
“After I became the head coach, we exchanged messages and discussed several important issues. But it’s not crucial what our conversations were about. Off the field, I have a great bond with him, and I intend to maintain that. About our relationship, I will only say that it is a relationship between two mature individuals.”
