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.
