However, it all began when Gautam Gambhir interfered in a conversation between Kohli and LSG opener Kyle Mayers irked by the on-field spat with Naveen-ul-Haq as well. The former KKR skipper pulled Mayers away to interrupt their chat which annoyed Kohli and they both began charging at each other aggressively. Meanwhile, they had a face-to-face chat where Kohli could be seen trying to calm Gambhir down by putting a hand on his shoulder but it didn’t go down well between the two as they were seen involved in a furious conversation later on and had to be separated by KL Rahul and Amit Mishra as well.

The heated rivalry could be seen even in the social media accounts too of the respective teams as RCB tweeted the photograph of Kohli silencing the crowd and added, “What goes around comes around! 🤫 Our 12th Man Army send their regards. 🤷‍♂️.”. They even retweeted LSG’s celebratory post after their thrilling one-wicket win over RCB during match 15 of the ongoing season where they had taken a dig at RCB’s catchphrase ‘Play Bold’.
