Oscars ought to be given to Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli: Sunil Gavaskar

When Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir made small talk during Friday’s game between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Kolkata Knight Riders at M Chinaswamy Stadium, the legendary Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar responded with a smart jab. Before the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs. Kolkata Knight Riders match, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli enjoyed a tender moment when the Kolkata coach gave Kohli a hug. “Maybe a fairplay award for that?” inquired former India coach Ravi Shastri during a commentary break.

Without delay, Sunil Gavaskar shot back, saying, “Not just fairplay, maybe an Oscar award as well!” This isn’t the end.The two players’ chilly relationship was the main story going into the game, but the hug, at least temporarily, put the tension to rest. Remarking, “Forget Fairplay, these two deserve an Oscar as well,” Sunil Gavaskar made a remark. In the most recent IPL season, Lucknow Super Giants defeated RCB by one wicket in a thrilling Bengaluru finale.

This team’s mentor, Gambhir, was present in the LSG dugout when the former Indian hitter prompted the home audience by responding with a “finger on his lips.” Following an 18-run victory in the rematch in Lucknow, Kohli gave the gesture back to the supporters. After the game, there was still an on-field brawl between LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq and the player. After that, LSG’s Kyle Mayers approached Kohli to have a conversation. However, Gambhir moved to separate his player from the RCB batsman. As soon as the cameras captured a furious exchange between Gambhir and Kohli, many players from both teams hopped.

Later, the two could be spotted cuddling up in the dressing room. In their Indian Premier League game on Friday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Kolkata Knight Riders 182/6.Star batsman Virat Kohli top-scored with an unbroken 83 off 59 balls while Glenn Maxwell (28 off 19 balls) and Cameron Green (33 off 21 balls) both contributed usefully, with the latter receiving two reprieves. At the M Chinnaswami Stadium, Kohli, who is in fine form, hit four fours and as many sixes in his flowing performance.
