Everyone will be aware of the fight between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir during IPL. In IPL 2023, when Gautam Gambhir was the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants, there was a dispute between Kohli and Gambhir after the match played against RCB. Then during IPL 2024, the dispute between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir seemed to end. Before the match between KKR and RCB, these two players were seen talking to each other on the field. But now Lucknow Super Giants player Amit Mishra has made a big allegation against Virat Kohli.
Let us tell you that veteran spinner Amit Mishra has made some explosive revelations on the change in Virat Kohli's behavior after becoming the captain and has also given a statement on the controversy with Gambhir. The experienced leg-spinner, who played under Kohli's captaincy between 2015 and 2017, said that he would not be surprised if he caused an earthquake in Indian cricket.
What did Mishraji say?
Amit Mishra explained the difference between Kohli and Rohit Sharma and said how one player has changed with the circumstances while the other has remained the same since day one. Kohli and Rohit made their debut in Team India with a difference of barely a year. After this, in the next decade, both became the backbone of the Indian batting order. Now both have retired from the T20 format together. There are many similarities between the two.
Did Virat change after getting power?
Talking about his equation with Rohit, Amit Mishra said that he and the current India captain have had a very happy and friendly relationship since the beginning of cricket but he did not expect the same from Kohli. Mishra also revealed that he has only a few friends left in the Indian team due to Kohli's change in nature. During an interview on a YouTube channel, when he was asked if Virat Kohli gets respect among the players like Sachin Tendulkar or MS Dhoni, he clearly said that not everyone is very honest. I will not lie. As a cricketer, I respect him a lot but the relationship with him is no longer the same.
Even now Rohit's condition is the same,
On this question, Amit Mishra says that I have not been a part of the Indian team for years. However, whenever I meet Rohit during IPL or any other event, he always jokes with me. I do not have to think what he will think. We joke with everyone. He is at the top but we have still maintained the same rhythm. He is the captain, he has won the World Cup and five IPL titles.
Debuting in 2008
Mishra has played 22 Test matches for India, nine of which were under Kohli's captaincy. His last Test match was also played under Virat's captaincy. Meanwhile, Mishra took 33 wickets but the leg-spinner regrets that his relationship with Kohli has deteriorated over time to such an extent that communication between them has almost stopped. Amit Mishra, popularly known as Mishraji in the cricket world, said that after becoming the captain and the success that followed, there was a huge difference in Kohli's conduct. I have seen Virat change a lot. We almost stopped talking. When a person gets fame or power, he thinks that the one who gets it must have come due to some need. I was never one of them. I have known Cheeku since he was 14 years old. When he used to eat samosas, when he needed pizza every night, but Cheeku and captain Virat Kohli are far away. He gives me a lot of respect whenever he meets me, but now he is not the same as before.
Did Gambhir end the controversy?
During a podcast conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Amit Mishra also said that the good thing about Gautam Gambhir was that he himself went to Kohli. Gambhir came to know about his and his family's matters from Kohli. When Kohli needed to go to Gambhir and end the dispute. Even then Gautam showed great wisdom and took the initiative to end the fight. However, Kohli should have said that Gauti Bhai let's end the fight.
Let us tell you here that Amit Mishra has not officially announced his retirement but now he is seen playing in domestic and IPL. Amit Mishra has played 22 Tests, 36 ODIs, 10 T20 matches in his journey with Team India in which he has taken 156 wickets.
