Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir got into a heated argument during an IPL 2023 game between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Lucknow Super Giants, much like their viral KKR vs RCG fight video
This is the first time the two have fought since their famous fight in the 2013 IPL, when Gambhir was leading the Kolkata Knight Riders.
The fight happened after the game was over, and it was full of the energy and fierceness that have come to define the two players’ rivalry on the field. In a film that has gone viral on social media, Kohli is talking to LSG opener Kyle Mayers when Gautam Gambhir interrupts and pulls Mayers away from the RCB batter.

After a few seconds, the two stars ran into each other and started talking. Amit Mishra and Vijay Dahiya of LSG, Faf du Plessis, the captain of RCB, and a few others moved quickly to separate Kohli and Gambhir. Both of them seemed angry at each other, and since then, more videos have been posted online that show more anger and frustration from the players.

Also, Kohli’s finger-on-mouth celebration when he caught Krunal may have been a response to a similar reaction from Gautam Gambhir when LSG beat RCB at the Chinnaswamy earlier in the season.
RCB’s superb bowling display secures victory over LSG in IPL 2023 match
RCB did a great job with their bowling in the game itself, protecting 126 runs to win by 18 runs. LSG’s batting was just as bad, and KL Rahul couldn’t open because he hurt himself while playing catching. When he came in at number 11, it was too late to change the result, and he couldn’t run, so he just made the loss happen later.
As a result of the match, both RCB and LSG now have 10 points. LSG is currently in third place in the table of points, while RCB is in fifth place. Many cricket fans and experts have talked about and debated the heated argument between Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. Some see it as an example of the intensity and emotion that define the IPL, while others say it sets a bad example for younger players and fans.
