Match 43 ofIPL 2023 saw the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)host the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Lucknow. In a low-scoring encounter, emotions were high among players from both camps as the RCB franchise, defending a measly total of 126 defeated Lucknow by 18 runs. LSG only managed 108 in 19.5 overs as their run-chase was dented with skipper KL Rahul getting injured in the first half. After the game, Kohli had a heated exchange with Lucknow pacer Naveen-ul-Haq and LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir.
There were some words exchanged between Naveen and Kohli towards the end of LSG's run-chase. The duo had a heated altercation after the game as well, during the customary handshake between both teams. Soon after, LSG opener Kyle Mayers had a chat with Kohli when Gambhir interrupted and took his team member away. After that, the former Indian opener aggressively marched towards Kohli. While Kohliseemed to be trying to pacify his former Indian teammate with his hand on Gambhir's shoulder, the chat soon turned hostile. Eventually, veteran spinner Amit Mishraand Rahulstepped into separate them from each other.

Notably, Kohli and Gambhir had a heated exchange during IPL 2013 game between RCB and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Bengaluru.
After the encounter, Kohli was heard saying in a video, shared on RCB's official Twitter handle, "If you can give it, you gotta take it, otherwise don’t give it."
In the previous face-off between both sides, LSG edged past RCB by one wicket in a high-scoring thriller in Bengaluru and Gambhir silenced the crowd with a finger-on-the-lipgesture which went viral in no time. Thus, Kohli's RCB gave it back in a way during their reverse clash in Lucknow.
Post altercation, both Kohli and Gambhir were handed a 100 per centfine on their respective match fee, for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct.
