In the aftermath of the nasty post-match brawl, Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100% of their match fees. In a video by RCB, batting legend Kohli can be seen mocking LSG while celebrating Bangalore’s victory.
World Cup winners Kohli and Gambhir squared off in an IPL encounter between RCB and Kolkata Knight Riders in Bengaluru ten years ago.
