Bengaluru, May 20: The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) camp, including the star batter Virat Kohli, had a heartwarming reunion with the 'Universe Boss' and franchise's icon Chris Gayle following their win over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday.

After a horrid first half of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 which saw them lose seven out of first eight games, RCB completed a fairytale turnaround with six successive wins and entered the playoffs by beating CSK on Saturday in front of their home fans in Bengaluru.

The official Instagram handle of RCB on Monday posted a video of Gayle interacting with RCB players, including Virat. During their conversation, Virat joked about Gayle returning to the team as an 'Impact Player' next year.

"Come back next year, Impact player is on. You do not have to field no more. It is designed for you," said Virat.

Also, Gayle, who holds the record for maximum sixes in a single IPL season with 59 sixes for RCB in 2012, inquired Virat about how many sixes he smashed this season. To this, Virat proudly replied, "37".

Later, Virat gifted Gayle his number 18 signed jersey, with a special message for his former teammate.
