The full fight video of Virat Kohli vs Naveen ul Haq is now viral
On May 1, the 43rd match of the IPL 2023 took place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Earlier, after Krunal’s departure, Kohli gave a kiss and motioned for silence.
After winning the toss, RCB scored 126/9 in 20 overs on a slow pitch, with Faf du Plessis leading the way with 44 and Virat Kohli contributing 31 and 62 runs of partnership for the first wicket. Naveen Ul Haq grabbed three wickets for LSG, while Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra each took two.
In response, RCB bowlers made life more challenging for LSG batters, particularly after an injured KL Rahul delayed starting his innings till the ninth wicket fell. LSG only managed 108 runs in 19.5 overs, with K Gowtham scoring the most runs with 23, and Amit Mishra scoring 19 runs. Josh Hazlewood and Karn Sharma each took two wickets for the RCB.

Virat and Gambhir were highly animated during post match.
Virat Kohli, who was a livewire when RCB bowled, was the focus of the game more so than anything else. He made two catches, following which he gave the fans two kisses and motioned for everyone to remain quiet.
Numerous people believed that this was in response to Gautam Gambhir acting similarly after LSG had defeated RCB in Bengaluru during their previous IPL 2023 meeting. Afghanistan’s Naveen Ul Haq stopped the former RCB captain Virat Kohli for a few words as the two sides prepared to shake hands.
Watch the video below.

Watch Gambhir and Virat’s heated altercation below.
As Virat celebrated highly after taking Krunal’s catch, LSG opener Kyle Mayers criticised Kohli for his gesture during the post match interactions before Gautam Gambhir dragged him away from Kohli. In the end, Virat Kohli approached Gautam Gambhir as tempers began to flare and words began to fly. The two then had their disagreement in the middle of both teams’ players and support staff.
The LSG captain KL Rahul then entered the fray, broke up the fight, and put an end to the verbal altercation between the two feuding Delhiites.
