A Heated Exchange in IPL 2023
During the IPL 2023, a significant altercation occurred between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. The incident took place during a match between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. The tension started when Virat Kohli had a verbal spat with Naveen-ul-Haq, which escalated into a major confrontation involving Gambhir.
Gambhir Steps In
As the mentor of LSG, Gautam Gambhir intervened to support his teammate, leading to a heated exchange between him and Kohli. The situation intensified as members from both teams got involved, creating a significant dispute on the field.
Reconciliation in IPL 2024
During the IPL 2024, the two cricket stars reconciled. Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli shared a heartfelt hug during a match between RCB and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), putting an end to their previous conflict. This moment silenced all discussions about their feud.
Amit Mishra’s Revelation
A year later, Amit Mishra made a significant revelation about the incident. Speaking on a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, he disclosed that it was Gautam Gambhir who approached Virat Kohli to end the feud. Mishra praised Gambhir for his gesture, stating, “I saw a good thing about Gautam. Virat Kohli didn’t go towards him; Gautam went towards him. He went and asked, ‘How are you, how’s your family.’ So it was Gautam who ended the feud and not Kohli.”
Kohli Should Have Apologized
Mishra further remarked that it should have been Kohli who apologized and made the first move. He said, “Gautam showed his big heart at that time. It should have been Kohli who should have gone and ended the feud. He should have gone and said, ‘Gauti bhai, let’s end this.’”
Gautam Gambhir’s New Role
Recently, Gautam Gambhir was appointed as the new head coach of the India National Cricket Team, succeeding Rahul Dravid. This news was confirmed by Jay Shah after much speculation. Virat Kohli will now play under Gambhir’s leadership, and with both being fierce competitors, the Indian team is expected to become one of the toughest teams to play against.
A New Era in Indian Cricket
Gambhir will begin his tenure with the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka. The Indian team will play three ODIs and three T20Is against the island nation later this month, marking the beginning of a new era in Indian cricket. With Gambhir at the helm and Kohli as a key player, the team is set to embark on a promising journey.(Dubai7 realmoneygame)
