After Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 18 runs in an Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Monday, former India teammates Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were at odds. Since then, there has been a lot of conversation about Kohli, Gambhir, and their fight on the pitch.
The low-scoring game was won by RCB, and Virat Kohli was seen boisterously celebrating the dismissals of the LSG hitters. He even got into a brawl with Naveen-ul-Haq, a member of the LSG, but it’s unclear who began it. After the game, Gambhir and Kohli got into a furious argument, which gave the impression that things were about to go out of hand.
The argument between Kohli and Gambhir has been the subject of a great deal of writing and discussion, but the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police rather had an intriguing perspective on the nasty incident.
“Avoid arguing, not calling us. Dial 112 in case of any emergency, No matter if it’s Virat or Gambhir, call 112 in case of an emergency”, the UP Police and captioned a message.

As a result of their altercation, both Kohli and Gambhir were penalised 100% of their match fees for violating the IPL Code of Conduct.
The brief exchange between LSG opener Kyle Mayers and Kohli, who was noticeably more heated during RCB’s defensive innings, seemed to have started the fight.
RCB’s Glenn Mexwell separated LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq and Kohli after they were spotted arguing as the players shook hands following the game.
Gambhir then interrupted Mayers’ conversation with Kohli to drag him away.
Although Kohli and Gambhir were former India teammates and teammates for the Delhi state team and they have a history of conflicts.
