Harbhajan Singh has stepped forward to mediate a truce between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. The two celebrated batsmen had a confrontation during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Stadium on Monday.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time that Kohli and Gambhir have had a spat, as they had a heated argument in 2013. In the recent match, Kohli also had a heated exchange with Naveen-ul-Haq in the 17th over, and at the end of the game, he exchanged words with the Afghanistan pacer as the two teams greeted each other. The altercation between Kohli and Gambhir was the most talked-about topic following RCB\u2019s 18-run victory.<\/p>\n

The recent altercation between two members of India\u2019s World Cup-winning team, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir, after an IPL 2023 match was a disappointing event that marred a low-scoring match in an otherwise high-scoring tournament. This is not the first time that Kohli and Gambhir have had a heated exchange, as they had a confrontation in 2013. In the recent match, Kohli also had an argument with Naveen-ul-Haq, and at the end of the game, he exchanged words with the Afghanistan pacer. The altercation between Kohli and Gambhir was the most talked-about topic following RCB\u2019s 18-run victory.<\/p>\n

The confrontation was instigated by a brief exchange between Kohli and Lucknow Super Giants opener Kyle Mayers during the post-match handshake. A spectator disclosed that Gambhir had cautioned Kohli not to say anything to his players, who he considers as his \u2018family\u2019, but Kohli responded by advising Gambhir to keep his \u2018family\u2019 away.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Kohli was accused of damaging the pitch by walking on it wearing fielding spikes, which could result in an uneven bounce and hamper the batsmen\u2019s strategy. Kohli showed the dust on his shoes to Naveen and the umpires, indicating that his shoes did not cause any marks on the pitch.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Harbhajan said that he would ensure that Kohli and Gambhir meet and hug each other after the end of the IPL 2023 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll make sure Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir meet and hug each other after the IPL. The fight will end,\u201d said the \u2018Turbanator\u2019 while speaking on his YouTube channel.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
