IPL 2024: It’s Not RCB vs KKR, It’s Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir – The Never-Ending Story
It’s been a year since the dramatic incident between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir during a match in Lucknow. Although Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq patched things up during the World Cup, tensions remain high between Kohli and Gambhir. Their history dates back to their time playing together for Delhi, including winning the 2011 World Cup for India. However, things turned sour in 2013 during an IPL game.
As Gambhir’s playing career waned and Kohli’s soared, their interactions dwindled until last year’s IPL incident involving Naveen-ul-Haq. Now, Gambhir is no longer with Lucknow Super Giants, but he will soon return to the Chinnaswamy Stadium, sparking curiosity about the next chapter in the Kohli-Gambhir saga. Kohli has been open about his emotions lately, while Gambhir remains vocal as ever.

Aside from the potential face-off between Gambhir and Kohli, other individual battles add excitement to the match. Mohammed Siraj facing off against Andre Russell, and Yash Dayal seeking redemption against Rinku Singh, could have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
