El Primero, as they call it, will take place at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday (March 29) evening with Gautam Gambhir’s Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to face Virat Kohli-starred Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in Match 10 of the IPL 2024.

There have been a lot of fierce battles in the past between the two of the most talked-about franchises. Now, things look more interesting with Gambhir back in the Purple and Gold Brigade, this time as a mentor. Everyone still remembers what transpired between him and Virat Kohli a year ago, which gave the competition a new flair after their face-off in 2013.

KKR's social media handle knows exactly how much this contest means. They do have a hefty head-to-head (18-14) lead against RCB, and more significantly, the two-time champions have been unbeaten at this venue since 2016. So, to erupt netizens, they posted a moment in which Kohli was closely looking at Gambhir from a fair distance during their practice sessions in Bengaluru.
