Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill met each other at M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Ahead of the match between GT and RCB, the duo was set to have a practice session. Before they went on to hit the net session, Virat met Gill in the dressing room. The official handle of Gujarat Titans posted the video of Virat meeting Shubman. 

The fans have started sharing the video, stating that the 'King' met 'Prince'.

As the star batter saw Gill, he greeted him by shaking hands. With a smiling face, Virat jokingly said to Gill he had come too early to practice. "Bade jaldi aaya practice karne," Virat can be seen saying Gill in the video. The duo then hit the nets to practice ahead of the match between GT and RCB, which is very important for both sides. It is a must-win game for both RCB and GT.
