Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir are two extremely fierce competitors on the cricket field. While Gambhir may have retired from all forms of international cricket as well as the Indian Premier League (IPL), he continues to be passionate for the sport and is part of IPL 2024 as the mentor of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), a team he has previously led to two championships in the past. On the other hand, Kohli, who was a youngster when Gambhir was at the peak of his powers as an international batter, has grown into becoming a modern-day great.

Both Kohli and Gambhir are known to wear their heart on their sleeves. In the past, the two of them have been involved in a couple of altercations as well, both, however, were in the spur of the moment.
