All the three concerned have been fined as nicely with Kohli and Gambhir shedding 100% of their match payment whereas Naveen-ul-Haq was fined 50% of his match payment. However, it’s learnt now that the match referee has unfairly sanctioned Kohli in the matter. Glenn Maxwell was aware of the whole incident and he has said that the previous RCB skipper did not utter a phrase.

The drama began in the seventeenth over of LSG’s innings when Virat Kohli steered Mohammed Siraj to bowl a bouncer at Naveen-ul-Haq. This is when Siraj cheekily requested Naveen, “Upar daalu ya niche.” The Afghanistan cricketer seemingly took offence to this and requested Siraj to return and sit down (“Yaha aakar niche baith ja.”).
At the top of the match, throughout the customary post-match handshakes, Naveen did not take a look at Virat Kohli whereas shaking a hand to which the latter requested him to indicate sportsman spirit and shake palms correctly. Naveen-ul-Haq did not like this and began abusing Virat Kohli who was shocked over his response.
LSG opener Kyle Mayers then received in contact with Kohli to know what happened in the center. When Virat began explaining him in a really pleasant method, Gautam Gambhir entered the scene and took Mayers away saying there isn’t any want to talk to Virat Kohli. Gambhir was additionally not completely satisfied earlier whereas shaking palms with the umpires and was having an animated chat with them.
After all this, Gambhir barged aggressively in direction of Kohli thrice solely to be stopped by gamers round him. Looking on the identical, Virat Kohli requested others to let Gambhir come in order that he can communicate to him. The 34-year-old then tried to inform Gambhir that he hadn’t uttered a phrase however the latter was not in a place to hear in any respect and saved saying, “Tu gaali nahi deta.” (You by no means abuse?)
Glenn Maxwell was aware of the whole incident throughout all this era and he has said that Kohli did not even utter a single phrase. This can be the primary time that match referee has added sanctions with out speaking to the participant involved.
Looking on the complete timeline of the incident, plainly Gautam Gambhir’s involvement blew up the matter unnecessarily and Virat Kohli was penalised unfairly by the match referee.
