The match between LSG and RCB was an intense one, with both teams putting up a great fight. However, what stole the limelight was the ugly fight between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli towards the end of the match. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir got involved in a verbal fight after Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) win against Lucknow Supergiant’s (LSG).
As the two franchises shook hands after the conclusion of the match, it was Kohli and Gambhir who grabbed eyeballs as they were seen engaging in an argument. Notably, Gambhir was seen pointing fingers at Kohli upon which the latter did not hold back and charged towards him.
It seems like Gambhir wanted to confront Virat Kohli about his chats with Naveen-ul-Haq when the latter was batting in a tense chase. There were also finger-on-mouth celebrations from Virat Kohli when he took the catch of Krunal, perhaps responding to a similar celebration from Gambhir when LSG had defeated RCB at the Chinnaswamy earlier this season.
“Virat Kohli was abusing Naveen . I intervened and told K Mayers to go and ask him what colour is your IPL Trophy . After listening to that he came up to me & complained . I asked him to put his 50+ score in WC knockouts on the table , he left”.
