Virat Kohli was involved in a heated argument on the field with another Indian cricketer, Gautam Gambhir. This incident took place in the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in a match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore. While Kohli was the skipper of the Bangalore outfit, Gambhir was the skipper of the Kolkata franchise.

The incident took place in the 10th over of the Bangalore innings. Lakshmipathy Balaji bowled a delivery outside off stump to Kohli, and the batting maestro hit the ball straight to Eoin Morgan, who was positioned at deep cover and was dismissed for 35. And, that was when both Kohli and Gambhir lost their cool.

Gambhir was seen saying something to Kohli, and Kohli was not happy with it. Both men charged at each other in anger. But then, before things could turn ugly, umpires and players separated the duo. The Bangalore outfit beat the Kolkata side by 8 wickets in that clash.
