IPL 2024: The former Teammate explain what cause the Gautam Gambhir hug with Virat Kohli

During the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders game, an on-field incident occurred apart from the match. In a strategic timeout during the RCB innings, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli shook hands and even hugged.

Despite their troubled past, which included a highly-publicized on-field spat involving Naveen-ul-Haq during the IPL 2024, a different scene unfolded when the two stars came face-to-face at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.

The elder man, Gautam Gambhir, did in fact step forward. Sometimes you step over the line, but as soon as it's over, you meet again either now or in the future nicely. We witnessed this," Irfan Pathan stated on Star Sports.

The Kolkata Knight Riders showcased a scintillating batting performance, securing a comprehensive seven-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru, making them the first team to win away from home in this IPL.

The tone was set early in the game when Philip Salt hit a six on the second ball of the first over, followed by a quick four. Salt continued his aggressive play with another six, putting RCB on the backfoot. Mohammed Siraj, who bowled the first over, conceded 18 runs while defending 183.
