Digital Desk: Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were penalized for violating the 2023 IPL Code of Conduct during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Though both Kohli and Gambhir shook hands after the game, it became bitter later when LSG opener Kyle Mayers approached Kohli and talked. LSG mentor Gambhir appeared dissatisfied with it. Later visuals showed Kolhi and Gambhir fighting furiously with one another. Other players, including LSG captain K.L. Rahul, came in and separated the duo.
Amit Mishra, RCB captain Faf du Plessis, and LSG assistant coach Vijay Dahiya also stepped in to help calm things down.

The duo was charged with a Level 2 offence under Article 2.21 of the IPL Code of Conduct.
