Virat-Gambhir Controversy: A few days ago in the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023), it has been a long time since the Virat-Gambhir controversy. But the discussion on this is not over yet. And believe me, it is not going to end easily. Both the veterans including Naveen-ul-Haq were fined for the recent clash. Now on this incident, former coach Ravi Shastri has opened his mouth for the first time. Shastri said that a little bit of fighting during the match is acceptable. Provided it does not cross the limit. And if the limit or Lakshman Rekha is crossed, the match referee is fully competent to deal with the particular incident.
