Gayle and Virat have played for RCB together from 2011 to 2017.
Caribbean cricketer Chris Gayle posted a wish for Virat Kohli's 32nd birthday on Thursday. The ex-Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batsman hopes Kohli will lead the franchise to an IPL title victory this season.
Kohli and Gayle share a good bond as they have spent a lot of time together in RCB camp. The 41-year-old was part of the franchise for seven seasons (2011-2017). "Happy birthday legend, @imVkohli...wish you many more KaKa! Bring it home for RCB," Gayle tweeted.

RCB aren't in a very comfortable position to lift the title currently, but they have advanced to the next stage with 14 points. Kohli and co will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Eliminator to play the second Qualifier against Delhi Capitals, who lost to Mumbai Indians in the first Qualifier on Thursday.
Virat is hoping for a fresh start from here, as they have lost four-consecutive matches before qualifying for the playoffs, being at number four position.
