Where did the feud between LSG-RCB start?
Let us tell you that the seed of the tussle between Lucknow and Bengaluru was sown on 10th April. In that match on that day, Lucknow defeated RCB on the last ball, after which the team's mentor Gautam Gambhir celebrated aggressively. At that time Gautam Gambhir had also indicated to remain silent by keeping a finger on his mouth and now RCB defeated Lucknow and he also repeated the same process. Meanwhile, he was also seen having a war of words with Naveen-ul-haq and then Gautam Gambhir.
Let us tell you that the BCCI has imposed a heavy fine on all these three players, as you all know very well that Virat Kohli gets more than one crore rupees for a match and his entire match fee has been deducted. Gautam Gambhir has also suffered a loss of Rs 25 lakh. And Naveen-ul-Haq had to pay a fine of Rs 1.79 lakh.
It is being told that here the sportsman spirit is more important than money which is broken by all three batsmen. This type of fight after the match is very wrong especially Virat Kohli doing this is very sad and wrong because he has crores of fans all over the world. We all know very well that most of the young cricketers consider him as their idol. And now his idol is fighting in the field like this, so what will he learn from him, Virat Kohli should have thought about this before fighting.
