Attempting to put an end to "all the masala and spice", Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir said they had their ups and downs but everything that happened between them was in "good spirits"

Former Indian captain Rahul Dravid has earned the Player of the Match award 11 times in his 164 Test matches. Virat Kohli, with 108 Test matches under his belt, has received the award 10 times. Kohli has the opportunity to equal Dravid’s record and potentially surpass it during the upcoming IND vs BAN Test series.

Gambhir himself used to modify his bats by making holes to reduce weight, enhancing his ability to face spin effectively.
