Before the start of the match, Steven Smith and Varun Aaron said that they are looking forward to see the fight between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. However, Kohli-Gambir gave the moment to keep Australian batter Smith and Indian pacer Varun bound in the frame.
By hugging each other, the two put an end to all the insults. This rare moment was born during the second 'time out' of Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting innings. Gambhir, now serving as a mentor to Kolkata Knight Riders, entered the field during the break and approached Kohli. Kohli extended his hand to see his former national team-mate coming forward. After that, the two found peace in the embrace by joining hands.
Both of them are also seen talking with a smile for a while. Maybe they were laughing at this time remembering the old dispute! The scene of their smiling faces went viral in no time. The IPL itself posted the video on its social media. With a smiley emoji, the caption reads, 'We love to see the moment.' Netizens are now pouring in thousands of welcome comments on the video's comment box. However, some fans of Bangladesh are regretting seeing this memorable scene.
Two Indian legends Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri were happy to see such a cordial scene of Kohli-Gambir. Both of them made a little fun about it in the commentary room. Shastri said, 'Kohli and Gambhir should get the Calcutta Fair Play Award for this hug.'
Kohli has also set a record in the match to forget honor and shame. He now owns the highest number of sixes in the IPL for Bengaluru. His 241 sixes are followed by Chris Gayle (239) and AB de Villiers (238). However, the former Indian captain could not leave the field with the victory in the record-setting match. Bengaluru gave Kolkata a target of 183 runs based on his innings of 83 runs. Mentor Gambhir's team won by 7 wickets with 19 balls to chase.
