Gambhir has slammed the rumours surrounding his relationship with captain Rohit Sharma, calling out the “experts” and some YouTubers for spreading fake news.

Gautam Gambhir, known for his seriousness on the field, coached the Indian team, which lifted the Champions Trophy earlier this year. However, ever since India lost the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, reports have emerged indicating that relations between Rohit and the team is strained.

Gambhir Rubbished the Rumours

Gambhir denied all the rumours and called the YouTubers hungry for TRP, at the ABP Indian Act at the 2047 Summit.

“First of all, tell me who are these people, who feel that it is Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir. This is only on social media or someone who runs a YouTube channel, or who are experts, they have said these things for their YouTube channel and TRP,” Gambhir said.

“Two months ago, we won the Champions Trophy, now imagine, if we had not won the Champions Trophy, then what questions you would have asked me, two months ago, a coach and a captain won the Champions Trophy together, and after that, you are asking me, that something is going on, between me and Rohit Sharma,” he added.

The Indian head coach also went on to state that his relationship with Rohit is built on mutual respect and their love for Indian cricket.

“I respect the human being, I respect the person he is, I respect what he has done, for Indian cricket, I will always respect for what contribution he has made, and I have got a lot of time for someone like Rohit Sharma and he is not like that now, from the beginning, when he came to the team from then and in future and it will be like this only,” said Gambhir.

“To get TRP, or to run YouTube channels, if you ask these questions, so I think, they need to do their homework, to get little better,” he added.
