Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were in the news for all the wrong reason during IPL 2023. Both cricketers have had a history of displaying their aggression on the cricket field, in ways more than just batting.
Moreover, the duo have had a controversial relationship through the years. Gambhir and Kohli, in public eyes, have not got along all that well. The duo faced each other in IPL 2024 on Friday, March 29.
Gambhir’s Kolkata Knight Riders took on Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the duo faced off at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Gambhir and Kohli were involved in a controversy in IPL 2023, after Kohli got involved in a spat with LSG’s Naveen Ul Haq. That is not it, as the duo fought with each other, even a decade ago in 2013. Both Gambhir and Kohli, pushed each other, before they were separated their teammates.
However, IPL 2024 had a different movie on roll! Kohli and Gambhir hugged each other a year later after their argument in IPL 2023. In the first innings, the Delhi boys shared a hug between each other.

What did Sunil Gavaskar say after Kohli and Gambhir hugged each other?
Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar were on air as Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir shared a rare light moment between them. Even in the build up to the game, Gambhir’s blunt interview with Star Sports raised eyebrows of fans, critics, and journalists.
However, the duo had other plans for the world, it seemed.
Ravi Shastri confessed the moment between Gambhir and Kohli would get the two teams, some bonus points for fair-play, and maintaining sportsmanship on the field.
In response, Sunil Gavaskar blew everyone’s mind with a hilarious statement. The Mumbai-born veteran confessed that the duo should be awarded an Oscar, besides the fair-play points.
Oscar Award is given to the candidate for their best acting. You wouldn’t blame Gavaskar for thinking that the duo were ‘acting’ as they hugged each other.
Fairplay award to KKR for this hug between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir, said Ravi Shastri.
Not only a fairplay award, but also an Oscar award, Sunil Gavaskar replied while being on commentary duties.
Ravi Shastri – fairplay award to KKR for this hug between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir.
