Virat Kohli will not pay fine against On-Field Spat With Gautam Gambhir

Gautam Gambhir's LSG have good chance of making it to the playoffs, while RCB have to put their best performances in remaining matches to secure place

The recent IPL 2023 match between RCB and LSG saw an exciting clash, with RCB defending a target of 127 runs and eventually emerging victorious as LSG got bowled out for 108 runs. However, the match was also marred by an on-field spat between captain Virat Kohli and mentor Gautam Gambhir, which resulted in both getting docked their full match fees. LSG's player Naveen ul Haq was fined 50% of his fees for his part in the altercation.

Will Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir pay the fine or their team

It has been reported that RCB will be paying Kohli's match fee of around Rs 1 crore on his behalf. The franchise values the effort and dedication of its players, who put their bodies on the line for the team, and as such, fines are not deducted from their salaries. While Gambhir's match fee is yet to be confirmed, it remains to be seen whether LSG will also pay the fine on his behalf.

Will Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir be seen in the next match or not?

Kohli's charged up performance during the match stole the show, with his energy levels being contagious and the crowd cheering for RCB instead of the home team. He was seen unsettling the LSG batsmen and getting into an on-field spat with Naveen ul Haq. Despite the controversy, Kohli's leadership and commitment continue to inspire his team, and RCB will undoubtedly continue to give their best on the field in the coming matches.
