NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru-Kolkata Knight Riders IPL 2024 clash, Gautam Gambhir‘s old video went viral on social media in which he was seen talking about his rivalry with RCB.
The official broadcasters of the IPL recently shared a throwback video featuring Gambhir, wherein he shares intriguing observations about RCB.
“One team which I wanted to beat every time, probably even in my dreams was RCB.Probably the second-most high profile team, flamboyant team with the owner and probably the squad – Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers. Honestly not won anything, still thought they won everything. That kind of attitude. I can’t take that. Probably the three best wins that KKR ever had was against RCB,” Gambhir said in the video.
