The relationship between Kohli and Gambhir had turned sour last year when the duo when involved in a verbal argument at the end of RCB’s IPL 2023 match vs Lucknow Super Giants. Gambhir was the mentor of the Lucknow-based team back then. Gambhir ended up having a sour bond with Kohli as the latter had a tussle with LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq.

However, the ongoing season saw both of them hugging it out. Gambhir, who is now the mentor of KKR, was seen coming forward and hugging Kohli during RCB’s first-leg match against KKR at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 29. Photo and videos of the hug had gone viral on social media.

Earlier, Kohli had hugged Afghanistan pacer Naveen as well during an ODI World Cup 2023 match, which took place after the IPL 2023 clash between the two players. Virat Kohli later revealed people’s reaction to his hugs.

“People are disappointed by my behaviour. I hugged Naveen. Then the other day Gauti bhai came and hugged me. Because your masala got over, you are doing ‘wooh wooh’,” Virat Kohli said at an event, where the people started shouting as the former Indian cricket team captain mentioned the name of Gautam Gambhir while replying to a question.
