This was the first time Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir shared a frame since that ugly spat in the last IPL..
World cricket held its breath when the sight of Gautam Gambhir approaching Virat Kohli during the IPL 2024 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium was caught on camera..
It was during a timeout on Friday evening at the Chinnaswamy when Gambhir, breaking away from the conversation with the KKR players, walked up to Kohli, who was having water and chatting with his team members, shared a hug and had a small chat as well, throughout which, the RCB star was all smiles..
The broadcasters too played that clip many times throughout the match, and during one of those replays, Shastri reacted on air saying: "Fairplay award to KKR for this hug between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir.".
Kohli continued his sublime form in IPL 2024 as he followed up his fiery knock off 77 runs from 49 balls against Punjab Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium last week with another aggressive half-century knock, this time against Kolkata Knight Riders at home..
