Check out the latest video of Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir involved in an animated chat at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. The two teams will lock horns against each other in the afternoon game of IPL 2024 on Sunday. 

Both teams are eager to bounce back from recent losses. Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are in a precarious position, having won only one of their seven matches.
