Virat Kohli shares cryptic post following heated exchange with Gautam Gambhir after LSG-RCB tie
Match 43 of the IPL 2023 edition saw the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) host the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Lucknow. In a low-scoring encounter, emotions were on display from players from both the camp as the RCB franchise defeated Lucknow by 18 runs in defence of 126 for 9. LSG only managed 108 in 19.5 overs as their run-chase was dented with skipper KL Rahul getting injured in the first half. After the game, Kohli had a heated exchange with Lucknow pacer Naveen-ul-Haq and LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir as it made heads turn at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
There were some words exchanged between Naveen and Kohli towards the end of LSG’s run-chase. The duo had a heated altercation after the game as well, during the customary handshake between both teams. Soon after, LSG opener Kyle Mayers had a chat with Kohli when Gambhir interrupted and took his team member away. After that, the former Indian opener aggressively marched towards Kohli. While Kohli seemed to be trying to pacify with his former Indian teammate with his hand on Gambhir’s shoulder, but the chat soon turned hostile. Eventually, veteran spinner Amit Mishra, and Rahul, stepped in to separate them from each other.

After the encounter, Kohli was heard saying in a video, shared on RCB’s official Twitter handle, “If you can give it, you gotta take it, otherwise don’t give it.”
