'Moment Of The Day': Virat Kohli Hugs Gautam Gambhir Mid-Match, Internet Can't Keep Calm. Watch

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders clash at the IPL 2024 had two men, who have been known to share a bit of history, on the opposite side - Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. The last time the duo faced each other at the IPL 2023, it made for one of the lasting images in Indian cricket. Last year, Gambhir was associated with Lucknow Super Giants and after a match against the RCB, had a heated on-field argument with Virat Kohli. Both of them were heavily fined for that incident. That was not the first on-field altercation between the two.

Probably the second-most high profile team, flamboyant team with the owner and probably the squad - Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers. Honestly not won anything, still thought they won everything. That kind of attitude. I can't take that. Probably the three best wins that KKR ever had was against RCB," Gautam Gambhir says in the video.
