Rohit Sharma is a five-time IPL-winning captain and Gambhir has guided Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to two IPL trophies.
The duo were also part of the 2007 T20 World Cup-winning team. While Rohit is currently the Team India skipper across formats, Gambhir announced his international retirement in 2018.
On the work front, Rohit Sharma will look to return to form after a lean patch with the bat. The 36-year-old has registered scores of 2,3,0,0,7, and 29 in his last six IPL innings. Overall, he has amassed 220 runs in 12 games at a strike rate of 128.65, including a solitary half-century this season.
