Kohli and Naveen engaged in a heated argument during a match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants on May 1. The incident occurred when Kohli instructed his RCB bowlers to target Naveen and the other LSG tail-enders with bouncers. Naveen strongly disagreed with Kohli’s suggestion and confronted him.

The situation escalated even further after the match during the customary post-match handshakes. While LSG captain KL Rahul attempted to mediate between the two players, Gautam Gambhir, the mentor of the Lucknow-based franchise, intervened, exacerbating the situation.
