Kohli has assured the BCCI that the previous disagreements with Gambhir will not affect the game

As Gautam Gambhir steps into the role of head coach for the Indian cricket team, there has been speculation about his past clashes with Virat Kohli. Following Rahul Dravid's departure, Gambhir emerged as the top choice for the position due to his successful track record in the Indian Premier League. Kohli has agreed to be part of the ODI series against Sri Lanka, marking the first time he will be working alongside Gambhir.

Reports from Cricbuzz confirm that Kohli has assured the BCCI that any previous disagreements with Gambhir will not affect their collaboration within the team. Both players are known for their passion on the field and have faced off as opponents before. However, their interactions during IPL matches have shown a positive dynamic between them. Gambhir has previously mentioned that their relationship is not for public spectacle and that they share a bond that outsiders do not well understand.

In a recent event, Kohli acknowledged criticism for his behaviour on the field, particularly after sharing a hug with Gambhir. Despite this, both Kohli and Rohit Sharma have made themselves available for the upcoming ODI series, considering it is Gambhir's first assignment as head coach. This move indicates a willingness to work together towards the common goal of the team's success.
