The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) defeated the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 18 runs in a low-scoring encounter on Monday. RCB bowlers were impressive as they defended a below-par target against LSG's strong batting line-up. However, the heated exchanges between Virat Kohli, LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir and LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq grabbed eyeballs and not the performances by players.
After a series of events on Monday, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir were fined 100% of their match fees and Naveen-ul-Haq was fined 50% of his match fees for breaching the IPL's Code of Conduct. Amid all this, Virat Kohli posted a cryptic Instagram story on Tuesday.
