"That's why there was nothing personal (then) and there never will be personal against Virat. I say it again and again that what he's achieved, I am not surprised. That's the kind of player he was when we saw him early but what he's transformed into, I think from a fitness point of view and the way he's worked on his skills is tremendous", Gambhir said on the YouTube channel.

In the same interview, Gautam Gambhir also spoke about his differences with MS Dhoni. Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir have played cricket with each other for a long time. Together these two cricketers have brought many trophies to Team India. These include the 2007 T20 World Cup and the 2011 ODI World Cup. Despite all this, there have always been reports about differences between the two of them.
