Sourav Ganguly and Virat Kohli are seemingly at odds with each other. Following a cold on-field moment during the RCB vs DC IPL 2023 game, the batting greats of India have shunned each other on Instagram. Virat Kohli recently unfollowed Sourav Ganguly on the platform and as per the latest development, Ganguly has apparently returned the favor by removing Kohli from his follow list.

Ever since Virat Kohli relinquished his T20 captaincy, there have been continuous reports and speculations from fans that all is not good between two of the biggest stalwarts of Indian cricket. Kohli left the captaincy when Ganguly was at the helm of BCCI, as the president.
