The controversial relation between former India teammates Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli ended with a warm hug ahead of the Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata match.
Gambhir and Kohli have shared an acrimonious relationship following an intense on-field altercation following a match between Bengaluru and the Lucknow Gambhir was mentoring Lucknow at that time.
Before the start of Friday’s clash, Gambhir, who has taken over as mentor of the Kolkata team, told the official broadcaster that Bengaluru is the only team he wanted to beat every time, even in his dreams.
“One team I wanted to beat every time and probably even in my dreams was Bengaluru. The second-most high-profile team and flamboyant team with the owner and with the squad; Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers,” Gambhir told official broadcaster Star Sports.
However, everyone was surprised when the official broad- caster showed visuals of Gambhir and Virat Kohli apparently burying the hatchet and embracing and having a brief interaction during the match at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
