New Delhi: Star Indian batter Virat Kohli and head coach of the Indian cricket team Gautam Gambhir were seen involved in an intense chat during the first practice session of the team ahead of the ODI series against Sri Lanka. After the Men in Blue wrapped up the T20I series 3-0, both the teams will lock horns in as many ODI games starting August 2.
Both Rohit Sharma and Kohli reached Colombo just couple of days ago and soon after, the team was joined by coach Gambhir. Gambhir had a successful start to his coaching career with the victorious T20I series and now would be hoping to carry on the momentum. Meanwhile, a visual emerged on social media site X where the coach and Kohli were seen involved in a chat at a training session.
The aggressive Delhi boys
Both the Delhi boys have a history of altercations in the IPL but it was solved to a certain extent as the duo hugged it out in the IPL 2024 season. Since Gambhir’s appointment as the head coach of the side, it will be interesting to see how both the aggressive lads gel up in the dressing room. However, in his first press conference as the head coach, Gambhir clearly mentioned that they both will work in unison and do everything they can do to win matches for India.
