NEW DELHI: During a lively segment at the Delhi Premier League T20, Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir swapped his coaching hat for a more playful role, assigning Bollywood movie titles to Indian cricketers, including Virat Kohli.
In a fun-filled interaction, Gambhir took part in a segment where he assigned Bollywood movie titles to cricketers, both past and present.
For Kohli, Gambhir chose the title "Shahenshah" (Emperor).
Gambhir’s picks for other cricketers were equally notable.
He called Yuvraj Singh "Badshah" and humorously referred to himself as the "Angry Young Man." Sachin Tendulkar was dubbed "Dabang," while Jasprit Bumrah earned the title "Khiladi," with Gambhir emphasizing that Bumrah's title was "more important than all these."
Rahul Dravid also received recognition, with Gambhir naming him "Mr. Perfectionist" for his precision and dependability.

Surprisingly, Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni's names were missing during the segment, catching the eyeballs of cricket enthusiasts.
India's newly-appointed head coach Gautam Gambhir has already shed light on his relationship with Virat Kohli.
In his first press conference as head coach, Gambhir clarified that he and Kohli are "on the same page" when it comes to their shared goal of making India proud, hinting at an end to the tensions from their
IPL 2023 spat.
As India prepare for their upcoming Test series against Bangladesh, starting on September 19, all eyes are on Virat Kohli's much-anticipated return to the Test squad.
Kohli, who missed the five-Test series against England earlier this year, is back in action, bringing a significant boost to the red-ball team.
His inclusion in the 16-man squad, alongside Rishabh Pant, who returns after nearly 20 months, means more experience and strength are added to India’s arsenal as they aim to start the two-match series on a high note.
