A video that showed Virat Kohli and Khaleel Ahmed having an intense discussion after the game went viral, and it immediately sparked a heated debate among fans.

Following the game full of action, the team players exchanged handshakes, but there was a heated confrontation between RCB's Virat Kohli and CSK's Khaleel Ahmed. The footage of the players also indicates that Kohli was very angry, and Khaleel also responded with the same intensity.

What Led to the Argument?

Multiple versions made the rounds of what might have instigated the conflict between the two, those being the constant banter and scuffle on the field. Kohli, who is generally known to be aggressive on the field, has been involved in similar incidents before; hence, this is portrayed as only one more occasion in his passionate cricketing career. On the other hand, Khaleel may have triggered the fight by using certain words.

The authorities of IPL, who are always keeping a close watch on such incidents, are the ones who will decide whether any steps are to be taken to curb such unseemly on-field behavior. As of now, both Kohli and Khaleel are yet to communicate any official statements, and the fans are eagerly waiting for that and, at the same moment, to know whether the matter will continue to be a rivalry in the upcoming matches.
