Virat Kohli on the night after his fight with Gautam Gambhir: ‘Not facts, not truth’ | cricket news
RCB beat LSG by 18 runs in a low-scoring game, but what made more news than RCB’s win was the spat between Kohli and Gambhir, which brought back memories of their long-standing feud, which first Appeared on the field in 2013, when Gambhir was also an active player leading Kolkata Knight Riders.
Former India captain Kohli shared a story on Instagram and made a suggestive comment following his spat with Gambhir, possibly calling reactions to the incident “opinions” and “perspectives” rather than “facts” and “truths”.
“Everything we hear is opinion, not fact. Everything we see is perspective, not truth,” Virat Kohli posted in his Instagram story.
The incident took place on Monday when the players from Lucknow were shaking hands after the end of the match when a few words were exchanged between the bowler. Naveen-ul-Haq and Kohli. At this point, Gambhir stepped in to control things but it soon turned into a Kohli vs Gambhir case when the latter accused the former RCB skipper.

Subsequently, Kohli, Gambhir and Naveen were fined for breaching the IPL’s Code of Conduct.
The Lucknow players then tried to pull Gambhir away, but when the two former India teammates came close to each other, Kohli tried to douse the fire with a few calm words, but failed to pacify Gambhir. Failed, which happened when LSG leg-spinner Amit Mishra stepped forward in an attempt to control things.
The roots of this latest tussle can probably be found in this very game itself, in which Kohli was seen to be very lively during his team’s bowling.
RCB defended 126, but on their way to an 18-run victory, Kohli made a ‘silent’ gesture towards the crowd after taking a catch to send Krunal Pandya back early in the run-chase.
