Looking at Gautam Gambhir vs Virat Kohli ODI, Test, T20, stats and records since 2003 as the two have been in the headlines after LSG vs RCB
Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir got into a fight on the field after RCB defeated LSG in an IPL 2023 game.
But the fight had begun a few minutes earlier, following a Naveen-ul-Haq incident.
Monday’s Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants featured a low-scoring thriller, which Faf du Plessis’ club won by 18 runs.
Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir’s disagreement took centre stage instead of RCB’s brilliant bowling display during the match.
The two illustrious cricketers got into a heated battle following the match over a few things that transpired in the match’s closing moments.
The collision between Kohli of the LSG and Naveen-ul-Haq may have started the storm. The conflict between Kohli and Naveen is thought to have happened between the 16th and 17th over.
Even though he made an effort to settle the conflict, LSG player Amit Mishra ended up battling with Virat Kohli, a former Indian teammate.
After the game, Virat and Naveen also had an awkward handshake during which the RCB batsman appeared to be offended by the Afghanistan pacer.
A little while later, LSG captain KL Rahul appeared to have attempted to defuse the atmosphere between the two as well.

While Rahul, his captain, appealed Naveen to talk to Kohli, it appeared in another video that he refused.
Later, as Kohli and Gambhir argued about what happened during the final few overs on the pitch, a fight between the two cricketing greats broke out.
The conversation between Gambhir and Kohli most likely started with Kyle Mayers and Virat Kohli.
After that occurrence, Gambhir and Kohli were challenged to stop. For breaking the Code of Conduct, the IPL fined Naveen, Gambhir, and Kohli significantly.
While Gambhir and Kohli each received 100% fines on their respective match fees, Naveen only received a 50% fine.
