Meanwhile, former India cricketer Varun Aaron spoke on how charged up Virat Kohli would be for the match against KKR. “I’m looking forward to the match up outside the boundary line. Gautam Gambhir is going to be at the boundary line right beside the RCB dugout, don’t know what’s going to happen there, I think, you know how Virat is, he likes to have some fire all the time, and if he just looks at the KKR dugout, he’s just going to be fired up,” Star Sports quoted Aaron as saying.
Virat vs Gambhir tussle:
Remember 2013 IPL season, both the duo came face-to-face for the first time on the cricket field and were separated by Rajat Bhatia, a former KKR player. This started with Kohli being dismissed and Gambhir saying something, which did not go down well with the then RCB captain.
Similar situation took place three years after that in IPL 2016, when Gambhir and Kohli had another heated exchange as the former Indian left handed opener threw the ball towards Kohli.
Now fans are also expecting some similar situations to take place during the KKR vs RCB encounter tonight.
