Referring to his verbal fight with Virat Kohli, LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir said he sided with pacer Naveen-ul-Haq as he felt the Afghan was right.

When pressed for exactly what happened, Gambhir added: “I will say only this, that I will endorse what I did for the person who was right in that instance. If I feel that Naveen-ul-Haq did nothing wrong, then it is my duty to stand with him. And I will do that till my last breath, even it is for Naveen-ul-Haq or anyone. If I feel you are right, I will stand with you. This is what I have been taught and will continue to do.

This is how I have been living my life. A lot of people said a lot of things, that I am supporting Naveen-ul-haq and not our own player. It was not that this player is ours and that player is not. If my team’s player is wrong, I would not have sided with him.”
