Thanks to his competitive nature and passion for the game, Gautam Gambhir has had very few cricketer friends on and off the field. His alleged fight with Manoj Tiwari, MS Dhoni are famous in Indian cricket. But on his birthday yesterday, cricket fraternity saw the other side of one of India’s best ever match winner.
In an interview posted on the official YouTube account of the Kolkata Knight Riders – whom Gambhir has led to two Indian Premier League titles – the southpaw revealed that Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh remain few of his very good friends.
“I spent a lot of time with Viru. Obviously, Ishant is a very good friend. Munaf (Patel) is a good friend. I grew up with Amit Mishra and we practiced a lot. I also spent a lot of time with Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) when we played together. I share a great relationship with all these guys and we have seen highs and lows together,” Gambhir said.
“I think some of our great cricketing moments have been together, especially winning the 2007 WT20 and 2011 World Cup. And also some of the lowest moments like getting whitewashed in England. It has always been great fun because I am sure once all us retire, these memories will stay with us for the rest of our lives,” he added.
