Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli were involved in an ugly spat during an Indian Premier League (IPL) clash between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) back in May.
An eyewitness even revealed the content of the conversation as the pair had to be restrained by their teammates.
During the IPL 2023 league phase match, Kohli was also seen having a heated argument with Naveen-ul-haq.
Gautam Gambhir, who is also a Member of Parliament of Bharatiya Janata Party in the national capital, in an exclusive interview with News18 India shed light on the incident.
“I have had fights on the cricket field before too but I have always kept that fight or argument limited to the cricket field only. There was an argument between two individuals, that should stay on the field and not cross the boundary. A lot of people said a lot of things for TRP, and many called for interviews. Anything that happens between two people does not need to be clarified. It happened on the cricket field and not off the field. If it had happened somewhere else, off the field, then you can call it a fight. In the heat of the moment, two individuals who want to win for their team and have the right to win," Gambhir told News18 India.
When pressed for exactly what happened, Gambhir added: “I will say only this, that I will endorse what I did for the person who was right in that instance. If I feel that Naveen-ul-Haq did nothing wrong, then it is my duty to stand with him. And I will do that till my last breath, even it is for Naveen-ul-Haq or anyone. If I feel you are right, I will stand with you. This is what I have been taught and will continue to do. This is how I have been living my life. A lot of people said a lot of things, that I am supporting Naveen-ul-haq and not our own player. It was not that this player is ours and that player is not. If my team’s player is wrong, I would not have sided with him."
