The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia has sparked a feud between Gautam Gambhir, the Indian head coach, and Ricky Ponting, the former Australian captain. Gambhir took issue with Ponting's comments about under-pressure Indian players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, suggesting that Ponting should focus on his own team. In response, Ponting described Gambhir as a "prickly character" and clarified that his remarks about Kohli were not meant as an insult or criticism. Ponting believes that Kohli, who has performed well in Australia in the past, will regain his form and deliver strong performances during the upcoming tour.

Gambhir expressed that he is not concerned about Ponting's comments on Kohli and Rohit's recent performance. He stated that Ponting should focus on Australian cricket instead of commenting on Indian players, as Kohli and Rohit are exceptional cricketers who have achieved a lot for Indian cricket and will continue to do so in the future. In the last five years, cricketers have achieved the impressive feat of scoring numerous centuries in test matches.
