Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), when they had visited M Chinnaswamy Stadium to play against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), went on to win by one wicket. Now trying to avenge their loss at home, RCB has visited the Super Giants at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
RCB managed to post 126 runs on the board and went on to win the game by 18 runs.
While the bowlers are doing a good job, the fielders are not leaving any stone unturned. Among them is former RCB skipper Virat Kohli.
The batter went on to take two crucial catches (Ayush Badoni and Krunal Pandya), however, what grabbed everyone's attention was his celebration.
Kohli celebrated as always in a unique way, this time by roaring and then turning towards the crowd and keeping a finger on his lips.
Fans believe this gesture could be a taunt to LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir. In their first clash after the win, Gambhir went to the centre and shared an intense handshake with Kohli. But he was later seen silencing the Chinnaswamy crowd with a 'finger on the lips' gesture.
Gambhir and Kohli have had a previous incident when the two were involved in one of the ugliest spats of the IPL history. It took place in the 2013 edition where a Gambhir-led KKR and a Kohli-led RCB had a fiery exchange of words after Kohli's dismissal.
