Clashes between players are not uncommon, and over the years, few have been as noteworthy as the disputes between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. One of the most significant confrontations took place a decade ago during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match, with Gambhir actively participating as a player. Fast forward to the 2023 Indian Premier League, and the cricketing world witnessed another intense moment between them, this time with Gambhir coaching the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Kohli leading the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
The spark that ignited the rivalry between Gambhir and Kohli traces back to an IPL match in 2013. Both players, known for their aggressive styles, clashed on the field, creating headlines and stirring the cricketing community. However, cricket fans were left intrigued by a recent incident that unfolded, showcasing a side of Gambhir that went beyond the fierce competition.
In a surprising turn of events, a heartwarming response from Gautam Gambhir regarding Virat Kohli recently went viral on social media, shedding light on the camaraderie that exists off the field. The incident occurred during a Star Sports show, where host Jatin Sapru posed a question that brought a different dimension to their relationship.
During the Star Sports interview, Jatin Sapru asked Gambhir about the bowler against whom Virat Kohli scored his historic 50th ODI hundred. The question aimed to unravel Gambhir’s perspective on a crucial moment in Kohli’s illustrious career. The answer, delivered with unwavering certainty, surprised many.
Gambhir confidently asserted that Virat Kohli reached his 50th ODI hundred by scoring off a delivery bowled by Lockie Ferguson, a bowler from New Zealand. This revelation not only showcased Gambhir’s sharp memory but also earned approval from his colleague expert, Piyush Chawla.
