The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday, September 18 released a new video which starred batting stalwart and former India captain, Virat Kohli and the newly named Head Coach, Gautam Gambhir. While this was the first appearance of the two cricketing icons sharing a single frame, it had a lot on offer with both of them recalling some historic innings along with some moments from both, on and off the field.
While they recalled their respective journey, Kohli and Gambhir also had some fun in expense of Team India skipper, Rohit Sharma, who is often seen forgetting things. Although this comes after videos of Rohit Sharma surfaced where he was seen forgetting players name at toss in IPL as well as in international cricket.
What do you want me to ask Rohit Sharma: Gambhir to Kohli
During the later part of the video, the 42-year-old Indian head coach, Gautam Gambhir while revealing that Team India skipper, Rohit Sharma will join him as the next guest, he also asked Kohli what would be that one question he wishes to ask him. “So Virat, the next guest is Rohit. What do you want me to ask. What should be the first question?”. Kohli was quick to reply as he said, “I think it is a very simple question to Rohit. Ke subah bheege badam khate ho ki nahi (Do you eat soaked almonds in the morning?)”
Both men laughed where Gambhir said that it will help Rohit to remember to come in at 11 am in the morning and not at night. “Ke subah 11 bhaje ke jagah, raat ko 11 bhaje na aajaye. (So that he comes in at 11 am in the morning and not 11 pm at night),” he said.
Virat Kohli to return to action in India vs Bangladesh first Test
Team India is all set to kick start their home Test season with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh. With ten Tests to be played ahead, India will host Bangladesh in two-match series, followed by a three-match Test series against New Zealand later. After the completion of these two tours, India will travel to Australia for five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Virat Kohli will mark his return to red-ball cricket after last featuring in the South Africa Test series. The 35-year-old missed the five-match Test series against England due to personal reasons as he was with his wife Anushka Sharma, who gave birth to their second child, Akaay Kohli.
