Srinagar: While KKR beat RCB in the IPL 2024 match on Friday in Bangalore, incident that caught everones attention was a moment between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir.
Kohli came as an opener for RCB and stayed till the end, scoring 83 off 59 balls with eight boundaries as his side posted 182-6 in the allocated overs. The two met in the 16th over when KKR’s mentor, Gautam Gambhir, walked on the field to give instructions to his side during the strategic timeout.
Seeing Gambhir coming towards him, Kohli approached the former batter with a handshake after which the two hugged and shared some words which brought a smile to everyone’s face.
The duo had a fallout long back in IPL 2023 when they were in the headlines following their heated encounter and a verbal spat at the end of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Gambhir’s previous side, vs RCB match.
The players along with match officials had to intervene to stop the heated argument between the two. Kohli hugging Gambhir reminded everyone of the time when the 35-year-old hugged Afghanistan’s Naveen-ul-Haq in IPL 2023 and asked the crowd to stop booing him.
