Kohli Got Out Early On His Debut…, Gambhirs Message For Virat After Completing 16 Years Of International Cricket Goes Viral – WATCH

Gambhir said he knew from day 1 that Kohli would play cricket for India for a long time when he saw him bat in the nets during practice sessions. In an ODI against Sri Lanka at the Eden Gardens, it was Gambhir and Kohli who stitched a massive partnership together to get India the victory from a difficult situation. Later on, Gambhir handed his man of the match award to the then-young Virat Kohli who scored his maiden hundred for India that day. This proves their bond goes a long way back.

“When he made his debut in Sri Lanka and played his first ODI, I remember he had got out early. But I knew that he would serve the country for a long time the way he was batting in the nets. He had so much talent that it was just a matter of time that he will perform and I wasn’t surprised with his performance,” Gambhir said in a video posted by Star Sports on X (formerly Twitter).
