As the two legendary cricketers got into a verbal fight about a few events that happened in the game’s closing moments, the umpires and other players were forced to intervene. They were also penalized for what they did. While Kohli and Gambhir received a 100% match fee penalty, Naveen got 50%.
The incident also implicated LSG player Naveen-ul-Haq, who attracted considerable attention. However, the focus remained on Kohli and Gambhir’s rivalry, and its effects were seen in later games as Gambhir came under fire from Kohli’s supporters.

A similar kind of incident was recently spotted in Lucknow during the Lucknow Super Giants vs. Chennai Super Kings match, and the video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
In the video, fans can be seen screaming Virat Kohli’s name and aiming it toward Gambhir, despite the fact that it’s not RCB’s match. In the 45th match of the league, LSG faced the four-time champion CSK at the Ekana Sports City Stadium.
As Gambhir was seen ascending the stadium, “Kohli” chants grabbed his attention. After pausing briefly, Gambhir gave an epic death stare to Kohli supporters and headed back inside. The incident’s footage has been widely shared on social media, with people crazily sharing the video.
While some people criticized supporters for chanting Kohli, other people still discussed the whole episode of RCB vs. LSG or Kohli vs. Gambhir.
Speaking about the game, the CSK vs. LSG match got washed up because of rain, and both teams got 1-1 points. CSK finished the game with 11 points in 10 games, placing them in third position in the IPL points standings, whereas LSG is currently in second place with 11 points after 10 games.
