NEW DELHI: Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has recalled an incident when Gautam Gambhir, currently the head coach of Indian cricket team, fought with a truck driver.
During a recent interaction, Chopra opened up on his bond with his former teammate Gambhir and recalled some of the incidents from the dressing room in Delhi.
Chopra also recalled an incident when the batting legend fought with a truck driver and grabbed his collar.
“Passionate guy. Very hardworking when it comes to his craft. A bit serious but scored a lot of runs. He always wore his heart on the sleeve. Temperament wise he can be very short-fused. But everyone has a different character,” Chopra said during a podcast.
“Gautam is someone who once fought with a truck driver in Delhi. He got out of his car and climb the truck to grab the collar of the driver because he made a wrong turn and was abusing. So that’s made him Gautam,” he said.
Gambhir is set to take charge of his first Test game as head coach of the Indian team in the upcoming first Test against Bangladesh, starting September 19.
The opening Test of the two-match series against Bangladesh will be played in Chennai and the second Test scheduled to be played in Kanpur from September 27.
