Gautam Gambhir recently opened up about the tiff between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq during the recently. He said that he stood for the Afghanistan pacer because he was completely right and it was his responsibility to be with him. Speaking to News 18 Hindi, he said: 

“I have a lot of fights on the cricket field, I always keep them limited to the cricket field. A lot of people said a lot of things and demanded that I give interviews for TRP. There is no need for a flashback, it was an argument between two individuals that happened on the cricket field. If it had happened outside, you would have called it a fight, this was just two individuals who wanted to win for their team. 

“I will just say this and not elaborate much, and I will say what I did, which I will endorse as I did for a person who was completely right in that match. If I felt Naveen Ul-Haq did nothing wrong, it was my responsibility to stand with him. If my teammate is wrong, I will never stand with him,” he concluded.
