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.
