At the end of the third test of Ind vs SA, Gautam Gambhir had something to say over it. He had a conversation with Star Sports where he said a few words for Kohli. He said Kohli is really immature and what he did today was unexpected from a captain who plays at the international level.

‘No budding cricketers would want to see this kind of a reaction especially from the Indian captain,’ said Gambhir further. Even though he puts a lot of effort into the game such a reaction was unacceptable.

He could not be an idol for the young generation of cricketers said Gambhir. It didn’t end there; he also compared Dean Elgar and Kohli saying that he did not reach in that manner.

At last, he gave a word of advice to coach Rahul Dravid. Gambhir wanted him to talk to Kohli on this matter.
