Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir – Things went completely off bounds between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir, a spectacle that no one would like to witness at least in the near posterity of cricket. Not only did it go completely off bounds but it almost boiled down to a hand’s distance from a fisticuff between two eminent luminaries of Indian cricket.
What exactly did go down between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir? Well, the actual answer is still lost in translation. The only thing we saw is that both of them came with touching distance of each other and were almost about to trade blows before things calmed down partially and Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell and KL Rahul played the peacemaker.
This was the ultimate result of Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir
It was a shock for any Indian cricket fan to see two of their favourites in their respective era come down to such an ‘unsportsmanship’ like conduct. However, it all started a decade ago in a clash between RCB and KKR. Since then Gautam Gambhir has been extremely salty towards two of India’s biggest pennant-bearers of excellence of modern cricket, MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli.
In 2013, KKR and RCB were engaged in a heated on-field game when Gambhir lost his cool and went charging at Virat Kohli after the former Indian captain was dismissed. Thanks to Rajat Bhatia that blows weren’t traded.
A decade later when LSG arrived in the Chinnaswamy and the Royal Challengers Bangalore fell short of the hallowed grounds, Gautam Gambhir gesticulated at the crowd to shut up. Ideally, if you are travelling to someone’s home ground and doing this, isn’t it obvious that it is a hurtful experience for all?
Similarly, when RCB secured the win in Ekana Sports City last night, things boiled out of control with Virat Kohli asking the crowd to zip it up followed by a heated altercation between Kohli and Naveen ul Haq. This was followed by Kohli going head on against Kyle Mayers. This is where it all went downtown as Gautam Gambhir lost his calm and went hammer and tongs up against Kohli. There was no drawing them apart. It all ended with Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir and Naveen ul Haq getting slammed with hefty fines.
