Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir spoke about his relationship with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah during a press conference before leaving for Sri Lanka. "I have a fabulous relationship with him. Jay Shah and I go a long way back. All these speculations about different things are given on different pages. I think we can do a better job by clarifying those things rather than putting it in the press. We go a long way back. So far, it's been a great relationship. Hopefully, it continues that way," Gambhir said in the press conference.
The former left-hand batter further stated that the welfare of the team is important than him.
"The betterment of Indian cricket is more important. Gambhir is not important. All of us have hearts in the right place. If we all think that Indian cricket has to move forward, we will be on the same page. So far, I have had a great working relationship with him, hopefully, it will continue in the future as well," the 42-year-old added.
