On 1 May 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Ekana Cricket Stadium by 18 runs. But, what made headlines is the bust-up between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq during the game. The verbal spat continued after the game also and it ended with a bust-up between Kohlli and the LSG mentor, Gautam Gambhir.
Fans were in shock to see two great Team India players going into each other. However, this was not the first time when these two got indulged in such an indecent. Fans have witnessed the same tise of temperature between them during IPL for many years. Now, an eye-witness, who was in one of the team dug-outs, shared the conversation they have to PTI.
Gautam Gambhir was not happy at all with Virat Kohli abusing Naveen-ul-Haq constantly
As quoted to PTI, the eye-witness said: "Gautam asked 'Kya bol raha hain bol' (What were you saying?) and Virat replied, 'Maine aapko kuch bola hi naahin, aap kyon ghus rahein ho' (Why are you coming in between when I haven't told you anything).”
"Gautam responded, 'Tuney agar mere player ko bola hai, matlab tune meri family ko gaali diya hai. (You abused my player and that's like abusing my family) and Virat's reply was, 'Toh aap apne family ko sambhal ke rakhiye'. (Then you take care of your family),” he further added.
"Gambhir's final reply before they were separated was, 'Toh ab tu mujhe sikhayega...' (So now I have to learn from you...)," he concluded. In another viral video, fans saw that Kyle Mayers was talking with Kohli and Gambhir just pulled him away. Regarding that, he said: “Mayers asked Kohli why he was constantly abusing them and Virat, in turn, questioned why was he (Mayers) 'staring' at him? Before that (Amit) Mishra had complained to the umpire about Virat constantly abusing Naveen (ul-Haq), who is a No. 10 batter. Gautam, sensing that things could turn ugly, pulled Mayers and told him not to have a conversation, when Virat made a comment.” However. Both of them have been fined 100% of their match fee for breaching the IPL code of conduct.
Here is how fans have reacted to the alleged conversation:
Virat is right…Uske upar koi bhi galti nahi ye yaar 😭❤️
