Former Indian team spinner, Amit Mishra claimed that it was Gautam Gambhir who went and ended the feud with Virat Kohli after their on-field spat during the Indian Premier League (IPL).
In IPL 2023, Gambhir, who was the Lucknow Supergiants’ mentor at that time, got into a verbal altercation with Royal Challengers Bengaluru star Kohli. The incident also included Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq and all three of them were penalized. However, during IPL 2024, Gambhir and Kohli hugged and were seen having conversations signaling an end to the rivalry.
Mishra revealed that it was Gambhir who approached Kohli and sorted the situation out before adding that he believes Kohli should have been the one to resolve the situation.
“I saw a good thing about Gautam. Virat Kohli didn’t go towards him, Gautam went towards him. He went and asked ‘How are you, how’s your family.’ So it was Gautam who ended the feud and not Kohli,” Mishra said
“So Gautam showed his big heart at that time. It should have been Kohli who should have gone and ended the feud. He should have gone and said ‘Gauti bhai, let’s end this,” he added.
