After no 'handshake' at IPL match, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli now unfollow each other on Instagram

Mumbai/IBNS: The friction between Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli seems to reach no end with a recent video of an encounter between the ex-Indian skipper and the Royal Challengers Bangalore player going viral during an IPL 2023 match where both were seen avoiding each other.

In several viral visuals, Ganguly who is working as 'Director of Cricket', can be seen jumping the queue as Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting was talking to Virat Kohli during the customary handshake lineup post-match.

However, no official response has come from either side regarding the speculation that has been doing the rounds after the visuals emerged.

Several Twitter users thought that the duo was deliberately avoiding each other.

Meanwhile, the speculations gained more mileage after it came to light that the duo does not follow each other on Instagram any more.

After reports said that Kohli had unfollowed Ganguly on Instagram after the IPL match, now it can be seen that Ganguly too is not following Kohli.

Sourav Ganguly has over three million followers on Instagram and follows 106 people. Kohli is not among them.

Kohli on the other hand, has over 246 million followers on Instagram and follows 276 persons. Ganguly is not among them.

The friction between the two has some sort of history as according to reports, Kohli lost his position as the Indian cricket team captain when Ganguly was the BCCI president.

However, there has never been any official response from the cricketers regarding the same.
