The Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir controversy refers to a heated exchange that took place between the two cricketers during an Indian Premier League (IPL) match in 2013. Kohli and Gambhir, who were playing for opposing teams – Kohli for Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gambhir for Kolkata Knight Riders – got involved in a verbal altercation during the match.
The incident occurred when Kohli, after getting dismissed, walked towards the boundary line and appeared to say something to Gambhir. The exact words exchanged between the two players are not known, but it is believed that Kohli made some provocative comments towards Gambhir.
The incident garnered significant media attention and sparked a controversy, with fans and pundits discussing the behavior of both players. It was not the first time that Kohli and Gambhir had clashed on the field, as they had a history of on-field altercations and disagreements.
However, both players have since moved on from the incident. They represented the Indian national team together and played key roles in India’s success in international cricket. Gambhir retired from all forms of cricket in 2018, while Kohli continues to be a prominent player for India and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL.
