Legendary Indian Cricketers Kohli and Gambhir Clash Again in Heated Argument Both Team Fined 100% of Their Match Fee
Read about the heated argument between Indian cricket legends Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir during an IPL match, resulting in a fine for both players. Get all the details and reactions from Twitter users in this article.
Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir, two legendary figures in Indian cricket, got into a heated argument on the day Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) shocked Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 18 runs. One might recall that there has previously been conflict between these two.
Gambhir and Kohli clashed in Bengaluru during RCB’s match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) more than ten years ago. Kohli no longer captains the RCB, unless it’s a very special occasion. At LSG, Gambhir, who is retired, serves as the global mentor. However, the hostility doesn’t seem to be going away.

The conversation between Kohli and LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq resulted in Gambhir removing Kyle Mayers, his team’s opening batsman, from a conversation with Kohli. Next, Gambhir aggressively walked up to Kohli while being restrained by his teammates, including the injured captain KL Rahul. With his hand on Gambhir’s shoulder, Kohli appeared to be attempting to calm him, but the conversation quickly turned tense.
When the game was all but over in the 17th over of the chase, Kohli and Naveen got into a heated argument. Then, Mishra and an umpire had to step in.
In an away game where the visitors received more support from the crowd than the hosts, Kohli was particularly animated throughout the fielding innings as RCB successfully defended 126. Even after taking a catch to eject Krunal Pandya, he quieted the crowd. Gambhir silenced the Bengaluru crowd in the two teams’ most recent matchup after stealing a last-ball victory.
For breaking the IPL Code of Conduct, Gambhir and Kohli each received a 100% match fee fine. According to Article 2.21 of the Code, the incident involved a Level 2 offence, and both parties accepted responsibility, according to ANI.
In any case, Twitter users did not react well to it. Some of them were seen accusing Gautam Gambhir of being overly aggressive, while others thought Virat Kohli’s facial expressions during the game were a little out of control.
I won’t discuss politics here. But in their most recent game against RCB in Bangalore, Gambhir got the start. Gambhir is unable to accept Kohli’s response, which was just made. You can do anything, so why don’t you see someone doing the same in return? one of them wrote it.
However, some believe Kohli was the one who overstepped the mark. One user commented, “Clearly Kohli crossed the line when he showed his shoe to Naveen.
