Kohli had said- Well, I don’t think you should live in India, you should go and live somewhere else. Why are you living in our country and loving other countries? I don’t mind if you don’t like me, but I don’t think you should live in our country and like other things. Get your priorities right.

Social media users raised a controversy over this statement, while Gavaskar clarified several times that his statement was distorted. However, after this, there was no conversation between Kohli and Gavaskar for several days and even today the rift between the two can be seen.
