Ahead of the Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bengaluru clash, fans were presented with a wholesome moment between two of India's modern-day greats Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir at the Eden Gardens. The duo has often budded heads but also shared some historic partnerships like the 2011 World Cup final and hence have been a huge topic of discussion.
Before IPL 2024, tempers were high between Kohli and Gambhir as the Delhi natives were involved in a massive spat after the clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Hence when RCB hosted KKR earlier this season, many expected that the pair would have another flare-up. Still, the exact opposite happened as the former India teammates shared a hug at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
