“I have had many fights on cricket fields”- Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir, a former cricketer, has spoken out about his verbal altercation with Virat Kohli during an IPL 2023 match between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kohli and Gambhir got into a furious disagreement after Faf du Plessis and company defeated the Lucknow-based squad by 18 runs on May 1.
“Look, I have had many fights on cricket fields. It’s not like I never fought. I have always ensured to let those fights and arguments stay at the cricket field only” Gautam Gambhir said.
The angry exchange between Kohli and Gambhir on the field following the game was revealed in some media publications. The LSG mentor claimed that the media exaggerated certain events. The former Indian opener believes that these issues should have been left up to the two parties to resolve.
“The argument was between two people and it should stay within the cricket field and not outside it. A lot of people said many things. A lot of people demanded an interview for TRPs like they asked me to clarify. The thing that has happened between two people doesn’t need to be clarified” Gautam Gambhir added.
