Gautam Gambhir’s ‘class’ act after Virat Kohli scored his 50th century ends misconception: ‘Don’t say there’s any tiff’
Gautam Gambhir, the former Indian cricketer and current member of parliament, recently made headlines for his ‘class’ act following Virat Kohli’s 50th century. This gesture has put an end to the misconception that there is any tiff between the two cricketing legends.
Gambhir’s nicknames for Indian cricketers
In a recent interview, Gambhir revealed his Bollywood-inspired nicknames for some of the Indian cricket stars. He referred to Jasprit Bumrah as ‘Khiladi’ and Sachin Tendulkar as ‘Dabang’. However, the most interesting nickname was reserved for Virat Kohli, whom he called ‘Shahenshah’.
Interestingly, Gambhir did not have a nickname for Rohit Sharma, the current Indian captain, which raised a few eyebrows. However, Gambhir’s praise for Kohli has silenced any rumors of a rift between him and the current crop of Indian cricketers.
Gambhir’s ‘class’ act
After Kohli scored his 50th century, Gambhir took to social media to congratulate him. He posted a picture of Kohli with the caption, “Don’t say there’s any tiff. This is class.” This gesture was widely appreciated by fans and pundits alike, as it showed that Gambhir holds no grudges against Kohli.
Gambhir, who is known for his outspoken nature, has had his fair share of controversies in the past. However, this incident has shown that he is a true sportsman who appreciates and respects the achievements of his fellow cricketers.
The ‘Angry Young Man’ of cricket
In the same interview where he revealed his nicknames for Indian cricketers, Gambhir also called himself the “Angry Young Man” of cricket. He said that he was always passionate about the game and wore his heart on his sleeve.
Gambhir’s intensity on the field was often mistaken for arrogance, but he clarified that it was simply his way of expressing his love for the game. He also said that he always gave his 100% on the field and expected the same from his teammates.
Conclusion
Gautam Gambhir’s ‘class’ act after Virat Kohli’s 50th century has ended the misconception that there is any tiff between the two. Gambhir’s nicknames for Indian cricketers, including Kohli as ‘Shahenshah’, have also shown that he has a lighter side to his personality.
As Gambhir continues to make his mark in politics, it is clear that he will always be remembered as one of the most passionate and dedicated cricketers of his generation.
