WATCH: Gautam Gambhir picks the 'Run Machine', 'Most Stylish', 'Desi Boy' and many more

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir was there in the stadium during the final of the Delhi Premier League (DPL 2025). From the official accounts, DPL shared a video of Gautam Gambhir, capturing a moment of fun conversations. During the interaction, Gambhir mentioned names for the 'Clutch,' 'Desi Boy,' 'Speed Golden Arm,' and many more segments. Some of his replies can shock the viewers.

During the interview, the team India head coach mentioned Sachin Tendulkar as the 'Clutch,' Virat Kohli as the 'Desi Boy,' Jasprit Bumrah for the 'speed' category, and 'Golden Arm' for Nitish Rana, while he named India's Test skipper and T20I skipper Shubman Gill as the 'Most Stylish.' The title for 'Mr. Consistent' went to the former head coach Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman received the title of the 'Run Machine,' Rishabh Pant as 'Most Funny,' and Zaheer Khan as the 'Death Over Specialist.' 

As of now, Gautam Gambhir may have some free time to spend, but after a few days, he will have engaged with the Men in Blue for the Asia Cup 2025, which is scheduled to start on September 9. The final of the DPL 2025 was held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium; it was the same ground where Gambhir got his highest individual Test runs. In 2008, against Australia, the former India opener played a 206-run knock in the Whites.

Gambhir's Test career for India

"Obviously, my highest test score is against Australia; I got 200 on this ground. So, scoring a double hundred at home in front of your family members, it can't get better than that," he recalled the memory by saying this. 

Gautam Gambhir was an instrumental figure for Team India between 2004 and 2016, scoring 4,154 runs at an average of 41.95. He notched up 9 centuries and 22 half-centuries, with his highest score being 206 against Australia in 2008 at Delhi. Between 2008 and 2010, he was at his peak, ranking among the top batters in the world in Tests. Gambhir's pair with Virendra Sehwag became unmatchable and helped India to win multiple contests.
