Viral IPL Video: Indian Premier League has become one of the biggest sporting leagues in the world. The highly cash-rich tournament has also witnessed some great cricketing moments over the years. However, there have been several fights and Virat & Gambhir were involved in a massive brawl as well.
Dramatic fight between Virat and Gautam
IPL has had tremendous success, but the league has also seen some dramatic controversies turn out. Players have occasionally engaged in severe clashes after having heated exchanges, like happened in the 2013 IPL. On April 11, during a match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Virat Kohli, the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the time, got into a heated argument with Gautam Gambhir, the previous captain of Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Batting first in the game, KKR did not have a good start and set a target of 155-run, thanks to skipper Gambhir’s knock of 59 runs from 46 balls. However, it turned out to be an easy chase for RCB, when Chris Gayle scored 85 off 50 balls, and Kohli scored 35 runs. Hosts easily won the match within 17.3 overs, however, during Virat’s dismissal, bowler L Balaji tried to sledge him. This led to a heated exchange between Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli. The incident escalated quickly and KKR players along with umpires had to intervene in between to stop the brawl.

Years later, Gautam Gambhir spoke about the incident in an interview and recalled that it was not personal and the fight broke out just because of the heat of the moment. Kohli remains to be associated with RCB as a player now while Gautam has become a Member of Parliament. The latter is also the team mentor of LSG.
