‘Gambhir Kohli se bahut jalta hai yaar’ – Fans react to verbal fight between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir after RCB vs LSG game at Ekana Stadium
The match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants was a low scoring thriller. The Ekana Stadium did not have the best of conditions for batting and RCB somehow managed to defend a low total of 126 and win the game by 18 runs in the end.
After the match finished, Gautam Gambhir came on and engaged in a fiery war of words with Virat Kohli. In the end, their teammates had to butt in to stop the fight. Gautam Gambhir had put on an aggressive celebration when LSG had won a last ball thriller at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
He put a finger on his lips and signalled the crowd to keep quiet. At Lucknow Kohli did something similar but he asked the crowd to keep cheering for RCB when LSG lost their second wicket. The heated exchange had just begun. When the match ended, Gambhir had a very aggressive handshake with Kohli.

When Kyle Mayers walked towards Kohli to have a chat, Gambhir pulled him away. They he hurled a fierce volley of words at Kohli which resulted in another ugly spat. From the videos that have come out, it looks like Gambhir is charging fiercely at Kohli even as some of the LSG players try to stop Gambhir. Rahul cooled things down for some time but Gambhir and Kohli were at it again.
Rahul had a long chat with Kohli and tried to put things at easy after a strong verbal exchange with Gambhir. After the Kohli-Gambhir saga another fight involving Kohli, Naveen ul Haq and Amit Mishra took centre stage. Coming to the match, RCB had sweet revenge on LSG as they managed to defend a low score of 126. Josh Hazelwood had a smooth return in RCB colours as he picked up 2-15 in his three-over spell. Karn Sharma was very good with the ball for RCB as well.
The wrist spinner picked up 2-20 in his four overs. These two were the pick of the bowlers for RCB. Along with the duo, Wanindu Hasaranaga, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell picked up a wicket each. This was an important win on the road for RCB as they picked up two valuable points.
Let us take a look at the reactions on Twitter:
Wen Kohli was a 23 year old kid playing for India, he had a partnership with Gambhir and India won the watch where Gambhir was the top scorer and man of the match. But Gambhir in order to motivate a youngster invited Kohli on stage and presented him his man of the match. #shame

Kohli needs to respect senior players,that's it,if this attitude continues he will do same thing with other seniors,and if there is something,they need to sit together and fix it forever.Coz these scenes are ugly for the Indian cricket and doesn't portray a good image outside
