Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli ‘put an end to all the masala’

The legendary sportsmen chat about what goes into the mind of an elite cricketer

Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli have redefined aggression on the cricket pitch. Their commitment to the sport has led to both of them winning two World Cups, apart from the hearts of millions of fans. While one is the coach of the Indian Men’s Cricket Team, the other is among the greatest batters that the game has ever produced. The Delhi boys, who have been known to get testy with each other on the pitch, sat down for an introspective chat, analysing what goes into the making of a cricketing great. A snippet on Instagram shows the duo talking about the 2011 World Cup victory, where both were an instrumental part of the squad, and Virat remarking how it is time to put an end to ‘all the masala’, a cheeky nod to their widely televised arguments on the pitch! The interview, which just went live on BCCI TV, is definitely not worth missing for any cricket fan!
