Former national teammates, Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, were involved in an unpleasant on-field altercation during an IPL match in 2013.Gambhir, now 41 years old, retired from cricket in 2018 and has since become a Member of Parliament for India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), known for its Hindu-nationalist ideology.
This incident marks Kohli’s second offense this season, as he was previously fined 10 percent of his match fee for misconduct during Bangalore’s loss to the Chennai Super Kings last month.Despite being regarded as one of the finest batsmen in the modern game, Kohli, also known as “King Kohli,” and his team, Bangalore, have never managed to secure victory in the Indian Premier League.
Kohli stepped down from the captaincy of the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the conclusion of the 2021 season.During 2021 and 2022, Kohli experienced a prolonged batting slump, which resulted in him losing the captaincy of the Indian cricket team, a highly demanding role in world sports.
Kohli, now 34 years old, has openly discussed his mental health struggles during this challenging period, acknowledging that he had been short-tempered with his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma.Furthermore, Kohli has been involved in several confrontations with opposing players, and he once received a reprimand for striking a plastic chair with his bat after being dismissed during an IPL match
