Kohli’s brief interaction with LSG opener Kyle Mayers seemed to have triggered the altercation. The two had to be separated by Amit Mishra, RCB captain Faf du Plessis and LSG assistant coach Vijay Dahiya.

Gautam Gambhir is the only person who wonders why he doesn’t get the respect that people give Dhoni. Everyone else knows why.— PuNsTeR™ (@Pun_Starr) May 1, 2023
“I won’t shut you guys like he (gambhir) did in chinnaswamy, I love the crowd " this is actually what Virat Kohli means here! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/Nsc0pOKp4h— S. (@Sobuujj) May 1, 2023
Gambhir poked Kohli once again and said “ Will ground you next game, dont jump" after the match.Imagine becoming a coach, an MP, member of so many associations and member of BJP still cant control jealousy when Kohli or Dhoni come in his sight.
