Gambhir's answer caught fans off guard, as he and Virat Kohli have not always shared the best relationship. The two cricket legends have had multiple on-field clashes in the past, making Gambhir's praise for Kohli all the more surprising.

After calling Virat "Shahenshah of Cricket," Gautam Gambhir was asked to assign the titles of "Badshah" and "Tiger." He named Team India's legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh as the "Badshah of Cricket" and gave the "Tiger" title to former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly.

Rahul Dravid was also acknowledged during the conversation, with Gambhir bestowing him the title of "Mr. Perfectionist."
