Gautam Gambhir has hit back at his critics over his relationship with Rohit Sharma. He made the comments at the ‘India at 2047 Summit’ organized by ABP News. Gambhir said people who raise questions about him while sitting in the commentary box think Indian cricket is their personal property.
Gambhir was asked about rumors of a rift between him and Rohit Sharma. He responded sharply, “Who are these people asking such questions? It’s only those running social media and YouTube channels to boost their TRP.”
A Winning Combination
Gambhir pointed out that Team India won the Champions Trophy two months ago. “If we hadn’t won the Champions Trophy, who knows what kind of questions I would have been asked in the media,” he said. Gambhir expressed his frustration, saying it’s unfair to ask such questions when the coach and captain have just won a major tournament together.
Gambhir emphasized his respect for Rohit Sharma.
