How Kohli Vs Gambhir Started?

Additionally, a video of their verbal altercation is currently trending online. The incident started in the 17th over of LSG’s batting. Afghan player Naveen-ul-Haq has something to say. Virat Kohli does not like that. He was seen in the verbal altercation with him and even with the umpires. It was the non-striker Amit Mishra who intervened in between. But things did not stop there. During the customary handshakes between the two teams of players after the game, Virat Kohli was responding to Naveen-ul-Haq, and one can see the conversation was the not-so-friendly way.
Virat And Gambhir Engaged In A Heated Argument
Additionally, during the game, Kohli’s obvious excitement was visible whenever the LSG lost wickets. Earlier in the IPL, during the match between LSG vs RCB in M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru, Gambhir made a “shut up” gesture towards the spectators. Kohli also seems to be in the mood to return it during the game in Lucknow. Kyle Mayers, the LSG’s opener, was going to Kohli after the match and began conversing with him.
However, Gautam Gambhir took Kyle Mayers from there after some time. The conversation was then continuing as Gambhir was talking to Kohli, who was responding. Despite the efforts of KL Rahul and Avesh Khan to keep Gambhir at a distance, the former India opener eventually approaches Kohli. Additionally, Kohli initially was trying to calm Gambhir. However, as the situation grew tense, the other players were trying to separate the two, especially Amit Mishra tried to put Virat Kohli away from there to avoid a more tense situation. After that, Kohli and LSG Captain KL Rahul engaged in a lengthy conversation.
Kohli And Gambhir Were Charged With 100 Percent Match Fees
Virat and Gambhir have also been in an argument before. However, after the match in Lucknow, the two players were each fined 100% of their match fees. This also pertains to a level 2 violation of the IPL Code of Conduct. It was a violation of Article 2.21 by both Kohli and Gambhir. This also includes inappropriate remarks, disorderly public actions, and public acts of wrongdoing. It was a violation of the objectives of the game. For a level 1 violation of the same article, Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq will also pay 50% of his match fee.
It’s not the first time that Kohli and Gambhir are getting into a fight. In 2013, when Kohli was captain of RCB, and Gambhir was captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, the two were also present during an intense debate.
In the meantime, yesterday’s pitch was playing slow and low, with the bowlers in charge. However, it was former RCB captain Virat Kohli who brought the heat and the flames.
