In the glimpse for the upcoming interview, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir engage in a candid conversation that addresses on-field altercations and the mental game of cricket. Kohli asked Gambhir about whether interactions with the opposition ever took him out of his zone or motivated him further. “When you’re batting and have a chat with the opposition, did you ever feel like this might lead to you going out of the zone, or did it put you in a more motivated space?” Kohli inquired.

Gambhir, responding with humor, remarked, “You had more altercations than I have. You can answer that question better than I can.” This playful exchange between the two cricketers showcased the ease and mutual respect between them, despite past media portrayals of their relationship as tense, especially after a heated clash during an IPL match in 2013.

Kohli, embracing the banter, reflected on his mindset during such situations. “I’m looking for someone who agrees with my opinion. I’m not saying it’s wrong. I’m looking for someone to say, ‘Yes, this is the right way,'” he explained, before turning to a more serious tone. “We’ve come a long way, and we’re putting an end to all the masala and all the spice,” signaling that they have moved beyond the media-driven narratives of their rivalry.

Fans are eagerly awaiting this insightful and entertaining interview, which promises a fresh look at two of Indian cricket’s most passionate players.
