Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir have played together not only for the Indian Cricket team but also for their state side Delhi and North Zone. However, it was back in IPL 2013 when the two captains of Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders were involved in an ugly spat on the field.
It was during the first delivery of the 10th over bowled by Lakshmipathy Balaji who took Kohli’s wicket who was caught in the sweeper cover region.
Gautam Gambhir and his teammates started celebrating Kohli’s wicket whereas Virat Kohli instead of going back to the pavilion walked toward the short extra cover and made a remark. Gambhir was seen walking angrily towards Virat while Rajat Bhatia tried to calm things down between the two players.
However, the incident was just an on field battle between the two players.
“Some things happen in the heat of the moment…it’s nothing” – Gambhir
