“If Virat Kohli Looks At Kolkata Dug-Out…”: Ex RCB Star’s Intriguing Gautam Gambhir Remark

Is one other Gautam Gambhir vs Virat Kohli conflict on the playing cards? As Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) tackle the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) within the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 on Friday, a blockbuster duel will unfold on the M Chinnaswamy stadium. The final time Gambhir and Kohli have been in the identical stadium, the IPL witnessed one in every of its most intense on-field battles. Former KKR and RCB star Varun Aaron expects Gambhir’s presence within the Knight Riders dugout to fireplace up Kohli because the match takes place.

In a chat with Star Sports forward of the Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers match Aaron stated that he’s eagerly trying ahead to the match-up exterior the boundary rope, hinting on the Kohli vs Gambhir duel.

“I don’t want to stir anything but I’m looking forward to the match-up outside the boundary line. Gautam Gambhir is going to be there right beside the Bengaluru dug-out, I don’t know what’s going to happen there. We know Virat likes to have fire in his belly and if he just looks at the Kolkata dug-out, he’s going to get fired up,” stated Aaron.

Gambhir and Kohli famously clashed throughout an RCB vs Lucknow Super Giants match in IPL 2023. Kohli initially locked horns with LSG’s Naveen-ul-Haq earlier than Gambhir went into the bottom and had a verbal warfare with the previous.

On the chaotic episode, Gambhir had stated final 12 months: “It is not about Naveen-ul-Haq. I would have defended any player, that is my job, that is how I am. Why should I not defend my players just because someone has a broadcaster working for him, left right and centre, someone who has more social media presence doesn’t have any right to walk over someone.”

While all is properly between Kohli and Naveen for the reason that episode, the equation between Gambhir and the RCB star will turn out to be extra clear on Friday evening.
