RCB vs GT, IPL 2025: In a heartwarming moment ahead of the 14th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Virat Kohli and Ishant Sharma, two Delhi natives, shared a warm reunion in the dugout as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) prepared to face off against Gujarat Titans (GT) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
In a heartfelt gesture, Kohli and Ishant were seen embracing each other, their hug serving as a reminder of the close friendship developed during many formative years of cricketing life.
The foundation of Kohli and Ishant's lasting friendship was laid during their Under-17 cricketing days in West Delhi, where they first shared the pitch as teammates.

Kohli and Ishant were spotted together during practice and in the dugout, exchanging warm hugs and casual conversation as they prepared for the big match.
Virat Kohli's dry show at Chinnaswamy Stadium
The Chinnaswamy Stadium was electrified with anticipation, but the air was suddenly thick with shock as Kohli fell prey to a clever short delivery. The ace batter, instinctively recoiling from the ball aimed at his body, attempted a whip shot behind square leg.
However, his usually impeccable timing deserted him, and the ball sailed directly into the waiting hands of Prasidh Krishna, stationed at deep backward square leg, sending the crowd into stunned silence.
