Akash Chopra said that there was competition between me and Gautam Gambhir, not friendship… To be honest, we were not friends at all. But there is no doubt that Gautam Gambhir was very hardworking and passionate, he was very serious about his game, he scored a lot of runs. He said that both of us were fighting for a place in Team India, our Delhi team was great, so good that when we used to play, only one of Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli would get a chance.
‘Our Delhi team was so good that Virender Sehwag…’
