Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium in Lucknow turned into a battlefield when the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) met against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday. RCB prevailed over the hosts by 18 runs in a low-scoring encounter, where tempers from both sides flared up and witnessed some unpleasant scenes post the match between Virat Kohli, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Gautam Gambhir.

Kohli, known for his aggression and fierce approach on the ground, found himself in the thick of things, first with Haq in the 17th over during LSG's chase, and then with Gambhir after the customary hand-shakes.
