Srinagar: India superstar batter Virat Kohli has said that some people are upset that he patched up with Naveen ul Haq and Gautam Gambhir as their masala is over.
Last year, Virat Kohli had bust-up with Naveen-ul-Haq and Gautam Gambhir and the controversy emerged as the biggest controversy of IPL 2023 with reactions flowing in from every corner of the world.
However this year when Royal Challengers Bengaluru hosted Kolkata Knight Riders, a totally unexpected sight unfolded in front of our eyes as Kohli and Gambhir hugged each other, buried the hatchet and moved on, possibly marking the end of one of the most talked-about rivalries in Indian cricket.
“People are very disappointed with my behaviour. I hugged Naveen, and then the other day, Gauti bhai [Gautam Gambhir came and hugged me. Your masala is over so you’re booing. We’re not kids anymore,” Kohli said during an event organised by Asian Paints.
Meanwhile Kohli is the only centurion of IPL 2024 thus far with a 67-ball hundred against Rajasthan Royals and with 316 runs at an average of 105 and strike-rate of 146, Kohli is leading the Orange Cap standings by a fair clip.
