As the conversation came to an end, Gambhir disclosed that Indian captain Rohit Sharma would be his next guest. The head coach also enquired as to whether Virat had any queries for Rohit.
The two broke into giggles as Virat asked the Nagpur native a straightforward yet amusing question.
The following is the conclusion of Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir’s discussion regarding Rohit Sharma:
Gambhir: Rohit (Sharma) will be the next visitor. What questions do you want me to put to Rohit then? What ought to be the first thing you ask him?
Kohli: I believe that Rohit’s question is quite straightforward: “If he eats soaked almonds every morning, laughs,” then “bheege huye badaam khaate ho ya nahi.”
Gambhir: Jagah raat ke gyarah baje ki subah gyarah baje? (11 a.m. or evening?)
Kohli: Haa dekhna, kahi AM ka PM na ho jaaye (haha, both laugh) – please confirm if it’s 11 am or pm. Thus, Rohit, this is the question for you.
