Fight Between Virat Kohli And Gautam Gambhir
Kohli was noticeably lively on the field during LSG’s batting innings, frequently celebrating dismissals with aggressive gestures. After Krunal Pandya was dismissed, Kohli even put his finger over his mouth to shush the crowd at the Ekana Stadium. This could have been a response to Gambhir’s similar behaviour at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, following LSG’s narrow one-run victory.
After the match had ended and the players were exchanging handshakes, it was noticeable that Naveen and Kohli were engaged in a conversation that seemed unfriendly. It was not the first time that the two had been involved in a heated exchange, as earlier, during the game, they had a confrontation after Naveen was dismissed. Additionally, Kohli was observed having an intense discussion with Amit Mishra on the field as well.
During a conversation between Kyle Mayers and Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir interrupted and approached Kohli. Despite efforts from KL Rahul and Avesh Khan to prevent Gambhir from getting too close to Kohli, the situation escalated, and the players had to intervene to separate them. Initially, Kohli attempted to defuse the situation, but it soon became tense.
Kohli and Gambhir have had a history of altercations, with a notable incident taking place in 2013 during an IPL match where Gambhir was captaining the Kolkata Knight Riders and Kohli was leading RCB.
