The equation between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli remains one of the most talked-about topics in Indian cricket.

During the IPL 2013 season, the then KKR skipper was involved in a heated face-off with the RCB star before they were separated by other players.

A similar incident was also witnessed in last year’s IPL as ex-LSG mentor Gambhir had an ugly spat with Kohli. The altercation created quite a stir in the cricket fraternity and it continues to draw attention even after so many months.

Recently, former India spinner Amit Mishra spoke on this matter, claiming that Gambhir took the first initiative to bury the hatchet with Kohli and it should have been the other way around.

Notably, things looked all sorted between Gambhir and Kohli during the IPL 2024 season as both men hugged it out during the KKR versus RCB game in Bengaluru. They were also seen having conversations in the reverse fixture at Eden Gardens.

"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 while speaking on YouTuber Shubhankar Mishra's show.

"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.

Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli are all set to work together as the former India opener has been named the new head coach of the Indian cricket team.

Gambhir, who replaced Rahul Dravid in the high-profile role, will begin his stint with the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka later this month.
