New Delhi: Team India\u2019s newly-appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir on Monday answered some burning questions with regards to the changes that have taken place in the squad since his arrival.<\/p>\n
Gambhir, whose equation with India\u2019s batting icon has been a subject of intense chatter, declared that his relationship with batting mainstay Virat Kohli \u201cis between the two of us and not for TRPs\u201d.<\/p>\n
Over the years, Gambhir and Kohli have had several clashes on the field, be it as captains of their respective Indian Premier League teams or as player and mentor of their sides. Hence, questions arose over their compatibility in the Team India dressing room.<\/p>\n
Gambhir and Kohli had not been the best of friends, something which was evident from the multiple confrontations between the two in the IPL. However, the duo will now be working together starting with the T20 and ODI tour of Sri Lanka from July 27.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy relationship with Virat Kohli is between the two of us and not for TRP,\u201d Gambhir said. \u201cWhat\u2019s important is we are representing 140 crore Indians. We\u2019ve shared messages. It\u2019s not important if we have chatted before my announcement or after. He is a world class player, I have huge respect for him. \u201d<\/p>\n
In the context of Kohli, Gambhir added, \u201cWe have had lots of discussions and everyone has the right fight for their jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n
With the departure of seniors Rohit Sharma and Kohli from the T20 International scene, workload management of someone like Jasprit Bumrah assumes greater significance, Gambhir said.<\/p>\n
