Five infamous controversies Virat Kohli got into
The latest inductee into this hall of infamous tales has been trending on social media in the last few days.
#2 – Nasty verbal exchange with Gautam Gambhir
One of the most unforgettable spats in the history of IPL took place in 2013 when Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, who hail from the same city, got into a very intense altercation. Royal Challengers Bangalore were taking on the Delhi Daredevils in a critical group stage encounter.
Kohli spanked Pradeep Sangwan for a few boundaries before he got dismissed to the same bowler in the 10th over. The Delhi players celebrated vehemently and Kohli walked angrily towards Gambhir and muttered something. Gambhir too was fumed and if it had not been for Rajat Bhatia’s interference, both players would’ve gone physical.
However, both players didn’t take this incident off the field. Gambhir said that it was an incident which took place in the heat of the moment and there was nothing personal. Kohli too had said the same and that shrugged off further intricacies in this case.
