New Delhi: Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir hugging during the Royal Challengers match between Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders became a hot topic of conversation and even drew reactions from legends Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri.
The official broadcaster showed footage of Gambhir hugging Kohli during the KKR chase, prompting Shastri, who was commentating with Gavaskar, to say that the moment deserved a fair play award.
Gavaskar tickled his funny heart and went a step ahead, saying, “Not only should he be given the Fair Play Award, but he should also be given an Oscar.”
Kohli and Gambhir have had heated exchanges on the field in the past, but the two appeared to have buried their hatchet as they shook hands during the IPL 2024 match at Bangalore’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday. It was.
A video of the two hugging each other and sharing a smile during a strategic timeout went viral on social media.
The two had an altercation during the 2023 IPL when Gambhir, who is currently coaching Kolkata Knight Riders, was playing for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
The showdown started with a heated exchange between Virat and LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq. After the match, Gambhir entered the field and took part in another round of altercations with Kohli.
