Gambhir’s IPL jibe: I don’t care, says Kohli

Chennai, March 22

Virat Kohli said he would be “sitting at home if he thinks like people from outside”, responding in his trademark combative style to Gautam Gambhir’s recent jibe at him.

Gambhir recently said Kohli has been lucky to have survived RCB’s captaincy despite never winning the coveted title in his eight years as skipper. 

Kohli did not take the former opener’s name but responded by saying, “I am doing what I am supposed to do. I don’t care whether I am going to be judged on this (not winning IPL) or not... We have to be practical about why we haven’t won one. That boils down to bad decision-making in pressure situations. If I think like people from outside, I can’t even sustain five games. I would be sitting at home.” — PTI
