However, the all eyes were on Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli during the match as this is really interesting to see Gayle playing against Kohli after a long time. Many thought there will be a tough competition and it will turn rivalry between both two players, but what happened on the ground shocked everyone.
A one sided affair here in Indore as the @RCBTweets chase down 89 runs in 8.1 overs.

Well, when Virat Kohli played a brilliant inning and assured the win for the team, went to meet opponent player Chris Gayle and they both hugged each other. The interesting thing is that they both did the same hug what they used to do while playing together in RCB. Meanwhile, this is to notice that Chris Gayle was very upset with Virat Kohli and RCB owners when they didn't retain Gayle in the 11th season.
