Cricket is often referred to as a gentleman’s game, but there have been many instances when cricketers have lost their cool on the field in the heat of the moment. With high pressure and high intensity games, players often lose their cool and get in the spot light for their not so admirable behaviour.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL</a> also has been in the spotlight a number of times for the exact same behaviour by players. Players have lost their cool and have got into arguments and send offs which have resulted in even their match fees being deducted.

Virat Kohli, who is known for his aggressive celebrations and wearing his heart on his sleeve has also lost his cool on numerous occasions in the IPL.

Let us take a look at the few instances when Virat lost his cool while playing in the Indian Premier League:<o:p></o:p>

1. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir's on-field spat (IPL 2013)

The match number 12 between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) from 2013 is famous for the on-field verbal spat between Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. After being dismissed by Lakshmipathy Balaji, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/ipl-2023-virat-kohli-shares-endearing-picture-with-ms-dhoni-caption-melts-internet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a>, while walking off was seen animated after he heard Gautam Gambhir give him a send-off to him.<o:p></o:p>

That didn’t go well with Kohli and he was seen walking towards Gambhir to engage in a verbal duel. The captains of their respective sides were not ready to back off that easily and were very aggressively having a go at each other. Rajat Bhatia, Gambhir’s teammate was trying his best to calm the heated exchange and not let the situation go out of hand.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

The situation was so heated up that players had to intervene and separate both Gambhir and Kohli. Both captains, were in no way looking to back off from the moment and were seen talking aggressively when their teammates tried to calm them down.

Eventually, RCB won the watch, however, still, the duel between Kohli and Gambhir remains the highlight of that clash. <o:p></o:p>

2. Virat Kohli's altercation with Virender Sharma (IPL 2021)

The matches between KKR and RCB have witnessed many aggressive moments over the years in the IPL and one such instance was when Kohli got furious over an umpiring decision by Virender Sharma in the Eliminator of the 2021 edition at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.<o:p></o:p>

Umpire Virender Sharma was at the receiving end when an appeal for LBW against Rahul Tripathi was overturned by the third umpire when reviewed by the Kohli-led RCB.

In the do-or-die game, the two teams were playing a competitive brand of cricket and a wayward decision could have made a huge impact to any side in that game. Kohli was seen in a heated argument when the decision was overturned by the third umpire.<o:p></o:p>

And when Virender Sharma seemed to explain the situation, Kohli was visibly not in favour of what was being offered to him as an explanation for not giving the decision as out on field and the square leg umpire had to intervene and tell Kohli to back off to put the situation under control. RCB eventually lost the match and it was Virat Kohli’s last match as skipper of the team.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;3. Virat Kohli livid with LBW call vs Mumbai Indians ( IPL 2022)</o:p>

(Photo Source: BCCI/IPL)</figcaption>

2022 wasn’t a memorable year for the former RCB captain and runs were hard to come by. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/sourav-ganguly-retaliates-by-unfollowing-virat-kohli-on-instagram-after-former-rcb-skipper-did-same-few-days-back/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat</a> was struggling to churn out runs as he used to and was getting dismissed in every known way possible. In the game against Mumbai Indians, Kohli was looking good to get back into form and was looking in great touch in his innings before he was dismissed on 48.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Kohli after being given out by the on-field umpire reviewed the decision and when the reviews showed the ball hitting the bat and pad simultaneously, Virat Kohli, like everyone, believed it would be given not out. However, it was not the case and the third umpire gave the final verdict as out. <o:p></o:p>

The decision by the third umpire left the batter furious and while walking back, Kohli was seen agitated by the decision and was seen smashing his bat onto his pads. Kohli vented his frustration by looking towards the sky in disbelief.

The LBW (Leg Before Wicket) call against him left him 2 short of a brilliant half-century which could have boosted the confidence of the then struggling batter. <o:p></o:p>

<o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>4. Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir &amp; Naveen-ul-Haq (IPL 2023)

With Gautam Gambhir’s act of silencing the Bangalore crowd after RCB’s game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in match 15 of IPL 2023, the excitement of the next RCB vs LSG contest among spectators reached another level. This time, both teams faced each other at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in match 43 and Challengers pocketed the match by 18 runs.

After the game, Kohli and LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq exchanged words with each other during the post-match handshake. Subsequently, Kyle Mayers also got involved with Kohli, and witnessing that, LSG's mentor Gautam Gambhir rushed to the scene and tried to take the Caribbean batter away from the RCB veteran.

However, the scene turned ugly when the RCB stalwart and Gambhir also got involved in a <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/social-tracker-cricket/lsg-vs-rcb-virat-kohli-and-gautam-gambhir-engage-in-verbal-fight-after-match-8619/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">verbal spat</a>. Following the incident, the IPL governing body penalised Kohli and Gambhir 100% of their match fee, while Naveen was also penalised 50% of his match amount as punishment.

5. Virat Kohli vs CSK fans in Qualifier 1 (IPL 2011)

In the fourth edition of IPL, RCB lost to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the first Qualifier match at the Wankhede Stadium. Despite scoring a decent total of 175/4, Challengers couldn’t pull off the contest as Suresh Raina looked at his best and took Super Kings home by six wickets, with his unbeaten 73 off 50.&nbsp;

Earlier, in the contest, Challengers put up a satisfactory score on the board, riding on Virat Kohli’s 70 runs off just 44 balls. However, his stunning innings went in vain as RCB bowlers failed to save the total. After receiving a solid defeat, RCB players headed to the pavilion, and Kohli got teased by some CSK supporters with the chants of ‘CSK rocks’.

Hearing the provocative chants, Kohli failed to control himself and got involved in a heated exchange of words with supporters of the Yellow Army. Later, a video of the batting maestro abusing those spectators got viral on social media sites.&nbsp;
