Where i is the zero based index of gridview columns. So you would need to know if it is the first column in the gridview (0) or the fourth (3) etc.
If you are unsure of the index but know the header text you could do something like this
For i As Integer = 0 To GridView.Columns.Count - 1
If GridView.Columns(i).HeaderText = "SomeHeaderText" Then
GridView.Columns(i).Visible = False
End If
Next
