1 of 1

Bengaluru. Before Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), there was a lot of talk about the controversial relationship between former Team India teammates Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, which seems to be ending now. Both hugged. Gambhir and Kohli had a bitter relationship following a heated exchange on the field after a match between RCB and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) – Gambhir was LSG’s mentor at the time.

Before the start of Friday’s encounter, Gambhir, who has taken over as the KKR team mentor, told the official broadcaster that RCB is the only team he wanted to beat every time, even in his dreams.

Gambhir told official broadcaster Star Sports that the one team that I wanted to beat every time and maybe even in my dreams is RCB… the second most high-profile team.

However, everyone was surprised when the official broadcaster showed footage of Gambhir and Virat Kohli breaking their ice and hugging and having a little chat during the match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

The two were seen chatting during the second strategic time-out of Bengaluru’s innings when Gambhir hugged Kohli as he walked off the field and had a brief cordial chat.

Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan credited Gambhir for the effort, while social media also reacted positively to the two stars, who were part of the Indian team that won the 2011 World Cup on home soil, and praised him for his controversial performance. Forgot the past.

Pathan said on Star Sports that Gautam Gambhir, the senior guy, really came forward. Sometimes you cross the line but as soon as that thing is passed, when you meet in the future, when you meet now, you meet well. This is what we have seen. Official broadcaster Star Sports posted pictures of the reunion on social media.

Internet, were you ready for this reunion? Star Sports wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter). Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar said Kohli and Gambhir deserve an Oscar for their heated exchange during Friday’s match.
