BCCI formed the Indian Premier League 15 years ago with the aim of creating love and harmony between the players of different countries. The latest example of this happened last week in Lucknow during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants. The verbal arguments between the players during the match also reached the verge of fistfights following the match was over.
Lucknow witnessed the flare-up of anger sparked by Lucknow Supergiants’ mentor Gautam Gambhir, who mocked Virat Kohli when the two teams first met in Bangalore.
In Lucknow, Kohli celebrated every wicket by shouting and signaling to the crowd to be quiet. Meanwhile, the stadium witnessed Virat, who got involved in an argument between RCB bowler Mohammad Siraj and Lucknow’s Afghanistan player Naveen Ulhaq, talking harshly to Naveen and Naveen not giving up on his reply and staring at him. Kohli shouted at Lucknow’s senior player Amit Mishra, who tried to calm the scene by intervening in the matter.
Virat’s excitement doubled following Lucknow lost, unable to overcome the target of 12 runs given by RCB. Gambhir, who was crying following seeing all this, went to the ground with his teammates to shake hands, setting the stage for the next fight. Gambhir did not allow Naveen to shake hands with Kohli. When Gambhir moved towards Kohli speaking harshly, the other players of both the teams intervened and looked on. But following the match, Virat and Naveen continued to argue on social media.
100% penalty
Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were fined the full match fee by the match commissioner for misconduct. Naveen was fined 50% of his match fee.
‘You get what you deserve. And so it is. So go ahead. I have come to play in IPL, not to listen to anyone’s gossip. If you treat me badly, no matter how big you are, I will not stand by. ‘- Naveen ul Haq posted on social media.
All we hear are opinions. That is not the fact. Everything we see is our perspective. It’s not true – Virat Kohli on social media
noted
Punishment should not be limited to cutting match fees for those who misbehave on the field. They should be suspended as they spoil the sanctity of the game.
– Sunil Gavaskar
Beats are different
Handy in IPL
Since the first season of IPL in 2008, there have been stories to tell. In 2008 IPL, Harbhajansingh hit Sri Shant’s hand in the first incident. Harbhajan was the star of Mumbai Indians then. and of Sreesanth Punjab. Sreesanth’s celebration following Harbhajan’s dismissal was, as usual, a bit over the top. Sreesanth approached when Harbhajan, who stared back following losing the match, went to the ground to shake his hand. Harbhajan did not like what Sreesanth had said and immediately gave one to Karankutty. Sreesanth, who cried in the unexpected attack, was comforted by his teammates. Harbhajan, who received the ban and fine, apologized later. Now the two are friends like before. Both are usually discouraged if someone reminds them of the old incident.
Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli had a fight in 2013 and 2016. In 2013, when Gambhir was out of the Indian team, Kohli was becoming a superstar. Gambhir was the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL. Kohli RCB star too. The altercation between the two started during a match and did not end even following the game ended. This continued in 2016 as well.
In 2014, there was a dispute between Mumbai Indians’ West Indies player Kieron Pollad and RCB’s Australian pacer Mitchell Starc. Pollard was caught by the umpires when he got angry at a beamer by Starc and went to hit him with the bat. The two have been constantly at loggerheads ever since.
A grudge once morest old friends
Delhiites Gambhir and Kohli, who have now become arch-enemies, were once very close. Kohli got a lot of encouragement early in his career from Gambhir. Gambhir gave the man of the match award to Kohli.
This incident took place in 2009 in an ODI match once morest Sri Lanka. Gambhir (150) and Kohli (107) scored centuries as India chased down the 316-run target set by Lanka in that match at the Eden Gardens. After the match, Gambhir, who was adjudged Man of the Match, asked the host to present the award to Kohli. Kohli, who scored the first international century of his career, received the Man of the Match trophy and the cash award.
