The Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru clash in IPL 2024 on Friday has a distinct subplot. The Kolkata Knight Riders are mentored by Gautam Gambhir while Virat Kohli is one of the batting pillars of RCB. The two share a lot of history. The last time the duo faced each other in the IPL 2023, it created one of the enduring images of Indian cricket. Last year, Gambhir was associated with Lucknow Super Giants and after a match against RCB, he had a heated argument on the field with Virat Kohli.
Both were fined heavily after the incident. This was not the first on-field altercation between the two. Now that the duo is coming face to face again in a cricket match, KKR couldn’t help but post two interesting photos. KKR posted the photos, with the caption: “Hard-hitting cricket images.” In one of the photos, Kohli can be seen heading towards Gambhir.
In a chat with Star Sports ahead of the Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers match, the Indian star Varun Aaron said he was looking forward to the match outside the boundary rope, hinting at the Kohli vs Gambhir duel.
“I don’t want to stir anything up but I am looking forward to the match outside the boundary. Gautam Gambhir will be there right next to the Bengaluru dugout, I don’t know what will happen there.” We know Virat likes to have a fire in his belly and if he just looks at the Kolkata dugout, he will burst into flames,” Aaron said.
Gambhir and Kohli clashed in an RCB match against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2023. Kohli first clashed with LSG. Naveen-ul-Haq before Gambhir went into the ground and had a verbal war with the former.
About this chaotic episode, Gambhir had said last year: “It’s not about Naveen-ul-Haq. I would have defended any player, it’s my job, that’s how it is that I am. Why shouldn’t I defend my players just because someone “There’s a broadcaster working for him, left, right and center, someone who is more present on social media has no right to step on anyone. “
