The LSG vs RCB clash ended on a sour and firey note as Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq had an ugly fight. It all started at the end of the 16th over bowled by Mohammed Siraj. Apparently, the Indian pacer and Haq had mind battles going on during the over. At the end of the over, Siraj flicked the bails while Naveen was inside the crease.
Both players had a verbal battle. After this, Kohli, who is known to stand up for his players had an ugly altercation. Amit Mishra, batting at the other end intervened alongside one of the on-field umpires. However, this wasn’t the end of their battle. After the game, the Afghanistan international refused to talk to Kohli even though KL Rahul insisted to do so.
On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir, LSG mentor, got involved in the battle too after the game.
