Gambhir's witty reply stumps Kohli

While Gambhir praised Kohli for his illustrious Test career so far, Virat also wanted to know how his former teammate managed to keep opponents out of his head at times.

Gambhir, however, turned the question on Kohli, reminding him how he has had many more such altercations with opponents on the pitch and that he is well suited to answer this question.

Virat also said at the end of the video that he and Gambhir have finally come together to put an end to all the 'masala' that had been created between the two over the past few years.
