Even though bowlers dominated the low-scoring game, Kohli, the former RCB captain, pumped up the fans and told them to be quiet, making the atmosphere more exciting. Between the 15th and 16th overs of the second innings, during the match, Naveen-ul-Haq said something to Kohli that started the fight.

Gambhir won 2 trophies in 6 years of captaincy, while shameless Kohli couldn't win even a single trophy in 10 years of captaincy.

Senior statesman Amit Mishra and an on-field umpire separated Kohli and Naveen, fixing the problem, but that wasn’t the end of the story. During the usual handshake between the two teams, Naveen-ul-Haq said something to Kohli, to which the former RCB captain didn’t hold back, leading to a heated argument.

Then, Lucknow Super Giants coach Gautam Gambhir got involved, allegedly because he didn’t like how Kohli talked to the young LSG player. Gambhir got in the middle of the fight and pulled Kyle Mayers away from the conversation he was having with Kohli.
Kohli kept explaining his side of the argument, and Gambhir also kept saying something. Gambhir was taken away by KL Rahul and Amit Mishra, and Faf du Plessis was taken away by Kohli. This ended the fight.
This is not the first time Kohli and Gambhir have gotten into a fight in the IPL. Ten years ago, in IPL 2013, when Gambhir was leading the Kolkata Knight Riders, the two got into a fight.
Kohli’s brilliance shines despite heated exchange with Naveen ul Haq
In the match, RCB beat the Lucknow Super Giants on the road and got a couple of important points. They now have 10 points in the current season of the IPL. Even though Lucknow Super Giants had a tough total of 126 runs, RCB kept getting wickets because their batters chose bad shots and their bowlers did a great job all around.
Kohli caught two of the three balls, blew kisses to the crowd, and quieted them down. This was likely in response to Gambhir, who did the same thing to the Bengaluru crowd when the two teams played earlier in the event.
Cricket fans and professionals have talked about and debated the event a lot. Some people have criticised Naveen-ul-Haq for what he did, but others have stood up for him and said Kohli’s response was wrong. In any case, the fight has shown again how much Kohli and Gambhir dislike each other. They have a history of fighting and disagreeing on the pitch.
