It was an ugly and uncomfortable scene at the Ekana Stadium late on Monday night moments after RCB avenged their defeat against LSG with a 18-run win. Yet the talk remained around that ugly face-off between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir on the field which later drew a mind-boggling reaction from RCB skipper Faf du Plessis.

Faf du Plessis said –

“That is the version version of Virat. You see him pumped up like that when he is at his best. It is really awesome to be a part of it. My job is to keep things calm on the field which I believe I did really well.” After the match, RCB’s captain Faf was asked, not on the victory, but on Kohli’s act throughout the game.

Owing to the ugly fight all three – Virat Kohli, Naveen-ul-Haq and Gautam Gambhir – were slapped with hefty fines for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during the LSG-RCB match.

Kohli-Gambhir found guilty of a Level 2 offence –

Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100 per cent of their match fees after they were found guilty of a Level 2 offence while Naveen-ul-Haq lost 50% of his match fees for his Level 1 offence. All three later admitted to their respective offences and accepted the sanctions.
