The relationship between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir has been marked by its ups and downs, particularly highlighted during their interactions in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite past conflicts, they appeared to reconcile during the IPL 2024 season.

With Gambhir now appointed as the head coach of the 'Men in Blue', there is significant interest in how their professional dynamic will evolve, especially as they prepare for the upcoming ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Scott Styris On Kohli and Gambhir relation

In a recent interview with India Today, former New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris shared his views on this situation. He suggested that the relationship between Kohli and Gambhir would be a 'wait and see' case. 

I think it's wait and see. I don't think anyone can sit here and say it's gonna work that well or it's not gonna work. I think both players will just tap to bite their tongue a little bit and and observe and watch the way that, in Virat's case, watch the way Gautam's looking to run the team and Gautam will be looking for Virat's leadership to help all the younger players," said Styris.

He acknowledged their past differences but expressed confidence that both individuals, given their cricketing intelligence, would find a way to collaborate effectively for the team's benefit. Gambhir himself has stated that their past issues will not interfere with the national team’s performance.

Virat and Gambhir will be seen and are set to work together for the first time as India faces Sri Lanka on August 2, 2024, in the three-match ODI series.
