Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir cracked up during the training session as India warmed up for Sri Lanka ODIs; ICC, RCB, DC and RR issued noteworthy reactions.
Started from the bottom, now they are here. From Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) to Rajasthan Royals (RR), Indian Premier League (IPL) giants feasted on the reunion of long-time India teammates Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. While former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mentor Gambhir is busy ticking the right boxes in his first assignment as head coach, run-machine Kohli has just joined the Indian camp for the upcoming One Day International (ODI) series against hosts Sri Lanka.
Before pocketing his first series win as head coach, Gambhir had sanctioned the surprise returns of batting icons Kohli and Rohit Sharma for the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In the Gambhir era, stalwarts Kohli and Rohit will continue to headline the traditional formats in the lead-up to the forthcoming ICC events. In the build-up to the ODI series opener against a crestfallen Sri Lankan side, batting maestro Kohli enjoyed his first training camp under the watchful eyes of Gambhir.

Former India skipper Kohli also chatted with the newly appointed head coach, Gambhir, in Colombo. Kohli was even spotted laughing with Gambhir during India’s training session. Kohli cracking up Gambhir in the training session soon became the talk of the town on social media. “Started from the bottom, now we here Gautam Gambhir | Virat Kohli,” Delhi Capitals captioned their post after recalling Gambhir’s unforgettable gesture for a young Kohli. Former IPL champions Rajasthan Royals (RR) also jumped on the bandwagon.
