For the unversed, Gauti and Cheeku are nicknames of Gambhir and Kohli respectively.
Meanwhile, both Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were fined 100% of match fees after their ugly face-off in the IPL 2023. Both Gambhir and Kohli were fined 100 percent of their match fees for breaching Article 2.21 of the IPL code of conduct.
Kohli’s on-field altercation with Gambhir started after LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq had a blunt exchange with the former RCB captain during the 17th over of the game. After RCB won the game, when Kyle Mayers came to have a word with Kohli, Gambhir pulled Mayers away and later indulged in a verbal spat himself with Kohli.
