Gautam Gambhir Vs Virat Kohli Cricket Rivalry Ends With A Warm Hug
IPL 2024: On-field rivalries, banters and heated moments between players are something that cricketer fans love to watch. The killing spirit during enthralling cricket matches doubles the excitement among cricket lovers. But during Indian Premier League (IPL) match number 10 something unexpected happened. Years-long cricket rivalry between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir ended with a warm hug at M Chinaswammy Stadium.
At the time-out during RCB's innings, both the senior cricketers, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli hugged each other, showcasing upliftment in the spirit of cricket. However, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) defeated Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 7 wickets.

Lauding both the cricketers, former pacer turned commentator Irfan Pathan described the unbelevable moment stating, "Gautam Gambhir, the senior guy, actually came forward. Sometimes you cross the line but as soon as that thing has gone past, when you meet in the future, when you meet now, you meet nicely. This is what we saw."
Everyone was impressed with both the stars' friendly acts. Ravi Shastri said, "Fairplay award to KKR for this hug between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir." While Sunil Gavaskar, who was at the commentary box with Shastri, added: "Not only a fair play award but also an Oscar award."
This was the first time when Kohli and Gambhir were seen smiling together and enjoying cricket since last year's ugly spat. At that, Gambhir was with the Lucknow franchise and had locked horns with Kohli after the ace batter's quarrel with Naveen-ul-Haq. At that time, umpires had to intervene and stop LSG then mentor Gambhir and RCB batter Kohli.
