Post the LSG vs RCB match at Lucknow, LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq and Kohli were captured exchanging words and RCB's Glenn Maxwell separated them. This was followed by Gambhir pulling away Kyle Mayers from a chat with Kohli. Soon, Gambhir was seen charging towards Kohli while LSG players, including the injured captain KL Rahul, restrained him.

The two Indian cricketers have had several on-field spats over the years. The first major altercation happened in 2013 during an IPL match between KKR and RCB. At the time, Gambhir was KKR captain and Kohli was leading RCB. The two had a heated exchange of words and even pushed each other before being separated by their teammates.
