Gautam Gambhir is a prickly character..!?
Former australia captain Ricky Ponting has said that he did not expect india coach gautam gambhir to show anger for criticizing virat kohli for scoring only 2 centuries in 5 years. India's star player virat kohli did not perform as expected in the Test series against bangladesh and New Zealand. In particular, virat kohli scored only 93 runs in 6 innings in the new zealand Test series. Following this, criticism started coming in about how virat kohli would cope in the australia Test series. Many Australian legends started to put forward their criticisms. Then Ricky Ponting and virat kohli have scored only 2 centuries in the last 5 years. No other top-order batsman would have been given a chance in one team for so long. But virat kohli will play well in Australia. virat kohli had said that playing against australia is his favorite.
 The Ricky Ponting criticism was seen as an attempt to weaken virat kohli mentally. indian team coach gautam gambhir gave a direct answer to this. Both virat kohli and rohit sharma are mentally tough players. He has created many achievements for the indian team. He said that they will create more achievements in the future. gautam Gambhir's response before australia took the field shocked many. Speaking about Gambhir's comment, Ricky Ponting said coach gautham didn't expect such a response from Gambhir. But I know little about Gambhir's character. No wonder Gambhir gave such an angry reply. I am not bashing or sledding virat kohli in any way. He has played well on Australian soil. I had said that he would give a comeback even if he was in bad form. Even if you ask virat kohli about my opinion, he himself will agree. He has said that he is not able to score a century like in the last few years.
