The public is eager to understand the nature of Gautam Gambhir's relationship with MS Dhoni. Are they friends or adversaries? Is there any underlying animosity, or perhaps a sense of camaraderie? Gambhir has repeatedly stated, "One six did not win the World Cup." Does this imply a rift similar to that between Harbhajan Singh and Dhoni? It would be beneficial to clarify this matter once and for all.

Fortunately, insights have emerged. Gambhir's childhood coach, Sanjay Bharadwaj, addressed the misconceptions surrounding Gambhir's strong personality. It is well-known that Gambhir is deeply committed to his country, having represented India in cricket, ventured into politics, and taken on national responsibilities in various capacities. His dedication leaves little room for personal grievances. In a discussion on The Raunac Podcast, Bharadwaj provided clarity on the narrative that Gambhir and Dhoni harbor mutual dislike.

"Gautam has never harbored animosity towards anyone. This is a fact. People claim that Gambhir dislikes Dhoni, and even Virat Kohli, but that is not true. He may have preferences regarding certain actions, but he holds no personal grudges."

Following Dhoni, Kohli is another name frequently linked to Gambhir. Their history dates back to their time together in the Ranji Trophy and the Indian national team. In 2009, after Kohli achieved his first century for India, Gambhir graciously awarded him his Player of the Match accolade. However, their relationship shifted from teammates to rivals during the IPL 2013, when a heated exchange occurred between them. A decade later, during IPL 2023, Gambhir and Kohli found themselves in conflict once more, this time involving Naveen Ul Haq.

Truth behind Gautam Gambhir's tiff with Virat Kohli

The dynamics between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli have evolved significantly over time. Gambhir currently serves as India's head coach, and recent interactions between him and Kohli suggest a rekindled friendship between the two cricketers from Delhi. It is evident that Gambhir's relationship with MS Dhoni is distinct from that with Kohli, as their shared history is more extensive. While Gambhir and Dhoni were once roommates during the 2004 India A Series, the bond between Gambhir and Kohli appears to be more personal.

Bharadwaj remarked, "We have discussed this matter. He often says, 'Sir, you understand, right?' I have never acted against anyone or spoken ill of anyone, including Virat Kohli. His primary concern is the team. For instance, if someone criticizes Naveen, Gambhir does not differentiate between Kohli or anyone else."

He further explained, "Gambhir views Naveen as one of his teammates. Given his background and seniority, he took the initiative to defend him. Gambhir considers his team as family, adhering to the principle that he will confront anyone who challenges his team. His controversies arise solely from on-field incidents and do not extend beyond the game."
