Gautam Gambhir is going to be at the boundary line right beside the RCB dugout.

Don't know what's going to happen there. I think, you know how Virat is--he likes to have some fire all the time. And if he just looks at the KKR dugout, he's just going to be fired up," Star Sports quoted Aaron as saying.

Remember the 2013 IPL season when Gambhir and Kohli virtually had a face-off on the field? The tension was defused by the timely intervention of Rajat Bhatia, a former KKR player. The trouble started after Kohli was dismissed, and Gambhir reportedly made some remarks irking the then RCB captain. A similar situation took place three years later in the 2016 edition of the IPL, when Gambhir and Kohli had another heated exchange after the former Indian left-handed opener threw the ball towards Kohli.
