The bitter feud between Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly finally came to an end on Sunday. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, once the game between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore ended, Kohli and Ganguly were seen shaking hands with each other.
They also had a brief chat after the game. With this incident that has taken place, we can say that both parties have decided to bury the hatchet.
The handshake was the big taking point the last time these two sides met at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium at Bangalore. Reports indicated that all was not well between Kohli and Ganguly. The reports said that the two did not greet each other the last time RCB squared off against DC. Further reports suggested that they had also unfollowed each other on Instagram.
