Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday, a unique incident occurred when Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) hugged Gautam Gambhir of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).<\/p>\n<p>Kohli, who opened for RCB and remained on the pitch until the end, scored 83 runs off 59 balls, helping his team to a total of 182-6. The encounter between Kohli and Gambhir, who was on the field to guide his team during a strategic timeout, happened in the 16th over.<\/p>\n<p>Upon seeing Gambhir, Kohli greeted him with a handshake, followed by a hug. This friendly exchange brought smiles to everyone\u2019s faces.<\/p>\n<p>This interaction reminded spectators of their past conflict during the IPL 2023 match between RCB and Gambhir\u2019s former team, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), which had escalated into a heated argument.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli\u2019s gesture also brought back memories of when he hugged Naveen-ul-Haq of Afghanistan in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/sports\/2024\/03\/ipl-2024-virender-sehwag-refers-to-ms-dhoni-as-buzurg\/\">IPL<\/a> 2023 and appealed to the crowd to stop jeering at him.<\/p>\n<p>In the match, Kohli not only top-scored for his team but also surpassed Mahendra Singh Dhoni\u2019s record of the fourth-highest number of sixes in IPL history. With 241 sixes, Kohli now ranks behind only Chris Gayle (357), Rohit Sharma (261), and AB de Villiers (251).<\/p>\n<p>In the process, he also became the player with the most sixes for RCB, surpassing Gayle. It\u2019s worth noting that Kohli is the only player to have represented a single team, RCB, since the IPL\u2019s inception in 2008, and all his sixes have been scored for them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most sixes for RCB in IPL history<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Virat Kohli \u2013 241*<\/p>\n<p>Chris Gayle \u2013 239<\/p>\n<p>AB de Villiers \u2013 238<\/p>\n<p>Glenn Maxwell \u2013 67<\/p>\n<p>Faf du Plessis \u2013 50<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bolnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/FotoJet-89-1-254x144.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin Pietersen credits Virat Kohli for young Indian cricketers\u2019 fitness\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">Kevin Pietersen credits Virat Kohli for young Indian cricketers\u2019 fitness<\/h5>\n<p>Kevin Pietersen lauded Virat Kohli for his exceptional fitness level.
