'Good for TRP': Gambhir shuts down chatter about equation with Kohli

Gautam Gambhir addressed his first press conference since taking charge as the head coach of the Indian cricket team (ICT). Among several other questions, Gambhir was asked about his relationship with Virat Kohli with whom he had had a couple of on-field clashes during the Indian Premier League (IPL).

However, in his typical no-nonsense way, Gambhir brushed aside any concerns of a strained relationship between a coach and a captain within the Indian dressing room. He said: "Good for the TRP but my relationship is not public. What kind of a relationship do I share with Virat Kohli, I think it's between two mature individuals."

"On the field, I have said it many times before, everyone has got the right to fight for their own team, for their own jersey and want to comeback in a winning dressing room. But at the moment, we are representing India and 140 crore Indians and I am sure we got to be on the same page and try and make India proud."
