Get ready for another clash between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli! This Friday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Last time these two were in the same stadium, IPL saw one of its most intense battles.

Anticipation builds for Kohli-Gambhir duel

Former KKR and RCB player Varun Aaron believes Gambhir being in the Knight Riders’ dugout will ignite Kohli. In a chat with Star Sports, Aaron expressed excitement about the showdown between the two outside the boundary rope.

Varun Aaron said, “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.”

Remember the fiery clash between Gambhir and Kohli during an RCB vs Lucknow Super Giants match in IPL 2023? Kohli first had a spat with LSG’s Naveen-ul-Haq, then Gambhir joined the verbal war.

Last year Gambhir said…

“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.”

Although Kohli and Naveen seem to have patched things up since then, the situation between Gambhir and the RCB star will be clearer on Friday night. Stay tuned for what promises to be an electrifying match!
