The camaraderie between Kohli and Gambhir marks a significant turnaround from their previous rift, which escalated during IPL 2023 when Kohli clashed with Lucknow Super Giants’ Naveen-ul-Haq, mentored by Gambhir at the time. However, the current season witnessed a reconciliation, epitomized by Gambhir’s gesture of embracing Kohli during RCB’s earlier match against KKR at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on March 29.

Kohli hugged Naveen-ul-Haq during the ODI World Cup 2023 which also garnered attention, with Kohli acknowledging public reaction to his displays of sportsmanship.

At a recent event, Kohli addressed the reactions, emphasizing the significance of goodwill gestures despite some dissenting voices.
