On 1 May 2023, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) locked horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the ongoing IPL. After winning the reverse fixture at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, LSG were looking to do a double over RCB in front of the home crowd. But, RCB won the game by 18 runs. However, what made headlines is what happened after the match.
Some heated argument kicked off between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq on the field. It continued after the match during the customary handshake. Even, the situation became worse when LSG mentor and the former Team India player, Gautam Gambhir got involved. Now, Kohli has come up with an Instagram story and fans have shared their views on social media.
Here is the image of the Instagram story:
Virat Kohli scored 31 runs off 30 balls
Speaking of the shared story, It is written: “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” Speaking of the match, RCB batted first and scored 126 runs for nine wickets in 20 overs. In reply, LSG got bundled out for 108 runs in 19.5 overs. Faf du Plessis won the Player of the Match award for scoring 44 runs off 40 balls. During tha post-match presentation, du Plessis said that it was really tough to score on that pitch.
He said: “(On the surface) Complete opposites (comparing it to Bengaluru). To have a fifty partnership in the first six overs was a match-winning partnership in the end. (Decision to bat first) Batting first was important. They had four spinners but it looked like right through, playing spin was hard work. It is a little bit easier for a captain, at the Chinnaswamy, it feels like the ball is going everywhere (smiles). I would have liked 135. In my mind, that was a really good score and we were going towards that score. Once again, if you come in on this pitch, it is really tough to score. Said to the boys that if we get two or three early wickets, it would be hard for them.”
