Former Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli has once again become the centre of discussion on social media—this time not only for his batting heroics but also for an alleged moment involving head coach Gautam Gambhir after India’s win in the first ODI against South Africa. Kohli, who scored a brilliant century in Ranchi and was named Player of the Match, is seen in a viral video that has led to claims of him ignoring Gambhir in the dressing room.

The match ended with India defeating South Africa by 17 runs, but soon after the victory, a clip surfaced online claiming that Kohli avoided Gambhir while entering the dressing room. In the video, Gambhir can be seen standing inside the room as Kohli walks in. The moment Gambhir steps forward, Kohli is seen looking down at his phone and walking ahead without making eye contact. This has triggered a wave of reactions from users, with comments such as, “The best way to ignore someone is to use your phone,” and “Seeing Gambhir, he took out his phone.”

However, another video from the same match shows a different picture. After scoring his century, Kohli returned to the pavilion where Gambhir, present in the dressing room, greeted him warmly with a hug. The contrasting visuals have led to mixed interpretations online, with fans debating the context behind the viral clip.

As discussions continue, both Kohli and Gambhir have remained focused on India’s campaign, with the team moving ahead in the ODI series after a strong start in Ranchi.
