Gautam Gambhir gives fiery reply to Australia great for critical remarks on Virat Kohli

India head coach Gautam Gambhir faced the burning questions of reporters at the press conference held on Monday ahead of the Border-Gavaskar series. It was during the event that Gambhir was informed about the comments that former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting made on Virat Kohli’s poor form.

Ponting criticized Kohli for only scoring 2 centuries in 5 years in Test cricket while batting in the top-order. Gambhir shut down Ponting’s critical remarks and in return, gave a fiery reply to the former Australia cricketer.

“What does Ponting have to do with Indian cricket? I think he should think about Australian cricket and more importantly have got no concerns whatsoever for Virat and Rohit. I think they are incredibly tough men. They’ve achieved a lot for Indian cricket and they will continue to achieve a lot in the future as well,” Gambhir said at the press conference.

Gambhir also showed faith in star batters Kohli and Rohit Sharma, saying they continue to work hard in the nets and their game, which is the most important thing for him.

“I think for me, the most important thing is that they still work really hard and they still passionate, they still want to achieve a lot more and that is something which is very important. The hunger in that dressing room is incredibly important for me. And for the entire group of people as well in that dressing in dressing rooms. And I feel there is a lot of hunger and especially after what has happened in the last series,” Gambhir told reporters.
