Sometimes Gambhir needs to just shut up. Talks absolute nonsense at times.

Even Waqar Younis has to interrupt and indirectly point out the obvious and mention why Kohli is special case.
Perfect Answer to the troller and I think Gautam Gambhir should have to focus on their political innings because Cricket doesn't need of any Politics. #ViratKohli𓃵 pic.twitter.com/6cGlCIFkmU
