United by Nation, Divided by IPL


On Thursday evening in the IPL match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, RCB skipper Virat Kohli and KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir's were involved in an ugly on-field spat.

It all started during RCB's 10th over, when Kohli was dismissed by Lakshmipathy Balaji and as Kohli turned towards the pavilion , Gambhir said something which made Kohli furious. Suddenly Kohli charged back towards Gambhir and the Gambhir too angrily walked towards Kohli.

At the end of the match, RCB won by eight wickets, both Kohli and Gambhir shake hands.

During the post-match presentation, Kohli said, "It's done, what is done on the field is done (spat)"

Gambhir said, "It happens in the heat of the moment. We don't need to carry it off the field. It is a tough sport, no love lost."

These ugly spat brought back memories of the first edition of IPL, where Harbhajan Singh slap Sreesanth, after Mumbai Indians were beaten by Kings XI Punjab at Mohali.
