“Scenes after his late night phone call with thala” – Twitter erupts upon seeing Virat Kohli’s latest Instagram story

Cricket is often referred to as the gentleman’s game that basically promotes fair play and sportsmanship. At the same time, the sport can be emotional too depending on the circumstances and on how the game is played.

In a game that has emotions all over, it is important for the players to approach the situations freely and go about their business. It is the only way that can help the team attain the goals or targets. However, some players tend to lose their cool and let the emotions get the better of themselves.

Yes, the cricket fraternity has come across instances where raw emotions have boiled over, which might as well lead to verbal spats between players on the field. Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were involved in a war of words after the game between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Batting first, RCB posted 126 for the loss of nine wickets in 20 overs with the help of Faf du Plessis’ 44. In reply, Lucknow Super Giants were unable to chase down the target as they were bowled out for 108 runs, losing the game by 18 runs.

Virat Kohli’s latest Instagram story goes viral

After the game, tensions flared up as things didn’t look good between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. Both of them were seen exchanging a few words. Following the verbal spat, both of them were fined 100% fees.

Meanwhile, the former RCB captain took to his official Instagram handle and then posted a story featuring a popular quote by philosopher Marcus Aurelius. The quote says, “Everything we hear is just an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth”.

Royal Challengers Bangalore have now moved from sixth to fifth in the IPL 2023 points table. Having played nine games so far, they have won five games and lost the remaining four games.

Virat Kohli channeling his inner teenager. All kinds of agression is unnecessary whether it is from Kohli or gambhir. They both are the senior most players and behaving like teenagers.

The way he acts on the field isn't an opinion but a disgrace. A great batsman but very poor behaviour.
