Virat Kohli gets into furious dispute with Gautam Gambhir after Lucknow Super Giants’ defeat

Virat Kohli was seemingly involved in a heated exchange of words with Gautam Gambhir and Naveen ul Haq after Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 18 runs on Monday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.

The altercation happened after RCB had bowled LSG out for 108 after scoring 126/9 in 20 overs, with KL Rahul batting through a leg injury in a fruitless attempt to lead his team to victory. During the Lucknow innings, Kohli had made his customary combative gestures to mark the removal of wickets. After LSG’s narrow victory in the previous meeting between the two teams last month, team coach Gambhir told the RCB home crowd to be quiet. On this particular occasion, not only did kohli blow kisses in the Lucknow supporters when their team lost a wicket, but he also emulated Gambhir by pressing his finger to his lips.

The two shook hands after the game, and things looked fine. LSG opener Kyle Mayers,walked up to Kohli and began conversing with him. Then Gambhir arrived and took Mayers away.  A little while after this incident, visuals from the match showed Gautam Gambhir being quite animated and saying something to Virat Kohli.Other players, including KL Rahul, and support staff separated the two. The LSG captain KL Rahul and Kohli were then seen talking in depth to one another.
