Following the brawl, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir are fined 100% and Naveen-Ul-Haq is fined 50% of the match fee.

After the RCB victory, when players were shaking hands, another heated exchange was observed between Naveen-ul-Haq and Virat Kohli which was then cooled down by Glenn Maxwell. 



Kyle Mayers and Virat were having a discussion when Gautam intervenes and they were then involved in a verbal argument that was never going to be on the good side of cricket and themselves. Following that, a mess broke out as Gambhir was seen approaching Kohli aggressively while being restrained by his teammates, including the injured captain KL Rahul and Amit Mishra. When the two began to argue, Kohli was seen trying to soothe the issue and Gambhir down, but prior to things de-escalating, Amit Mishra intervened and the two were separated.

Kohli had seemed extra animated throughout the fielding innings as RCB successfully defended 126 in an away match that had more crowd support for the visitors than the hosts. He was seen gesturing to the crowd after taking a catch to dismiss Krunal Pandya, possibly in response to Gambhir?s gestures in the last match between the two sides in Bengaluru which LSG won by 1 wicket.

IPL 2023: On Thursday night, Sunriesrs Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore squared off in the 65th game of the 2023 IPL. From the perspective of qualifying, this was a must-win game for RCB.



Batting first, the Hyderabad team scored 186 runs at the loss of five wickets in the allotted 20 overs. In response, captain Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli played brilliant innings for Bangalore. There was a 172-run partnership between these two for the first wicket, which was the highest partnership of this season. Kohli scored 100 runs in 63 balls with the help of 12 fours and four sixes, which was his sixth century of IPL career. Faf du Plessis played an inning of 71 runs in 47 balls with the help of seven fours and two sixes.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">War broke out on Twitter after Virat Kohli's century</h2>



Virat Kohli has made many records this century.



<ol>
<li>Most runs in the IPL history</li>



<li>Most 50+ scores by an Indian in IPL</li>



<li>Most centuries by an Indian in IPL</li>
</ol>



After Virat Kohli's century, Kohli started trending on Twitter, with fans, as well as former players and his teammates, praising him. Among all these tweets, Three tweets began spreading like wildfire on Twitter. The first tweet was by Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir, the second by online food delivery company Swiggy, and the third was by India TV Editor-in-Chief Rajat Sharma. So what was it in these three tweets that started gathering headlines fast, let us know in today's article.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Mohammad Amir</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/iamamirofficial/status/1659258808764440582
</div></figure>



The first tweet was from Pakistani pace bowler Mohammad Amir. He praised Virat while tweeting and he said that "What an inning by one and only the real king @imVkohli take a bow". With this tweet, he targeted Pakistan's opener batsman Babar Azam. Because many fans sometimes consider Babar Azam as King and sometimes Virat Kohli is given the title of King. But after this tweet, Mohammad Aamir made it clear that Kohli is the King of the present cricketing world.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Swiggy Instamart</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/SwiggyInstamart/status/1659253100706922496
</div></figure>



To understand this tweet of an online food delivery company, we all have to know the whole matter first. Actually, during the RCB vs LSG match, there was a heated argument between Virat Kohli and Afghanistan bowler Naveen-ul-Haq.



The controversy continued on social media even after the match. In fact, after Virat Kohli got out during the RCB vs MI match, Naveen-ul-Haq posted a picture of mango along with a TV Screen while watching the match and wrote "Sweet Mangoes".



Now when Virat Kohli used to play cricket, all his fellow players used to call him by the name of Cheeku. This is how Swiggy tweeted, "Sorry Mango Cheeku is the real king" which was directly targeting Afghan bowler Naveen ul Haq.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Rajat Sharma</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



The third tweet was by Rajat Sharma, Editor-in-Chief of India TV, which is making a lot of headlines. Actually when there was a heated argument between Kohli and Gambhir during the RCB vs LSG match. During that time Rajat Sharma said during a debate on his news channel India TV that. Gautam Gambhir is a coach as well as a Member of Parliament and it does not suit him to do so.



After this debate, Gautam Gambhir also gave a befitting reply to Rajat Sharma through a tweet. Responding to the same tweet, Rajat Sharma tweeted this indirectly targeting Gautam Gambhir.

Virat Kohli vs Naveen-Ul-Haq was the main highlight of the <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.iplt20.com/">Indian Premier League</a> (IPL) 2023. The two players were engaged in a serious verbal spat during the game between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.?



The heated exchange between Virat Kohli and Naveen Ul Haq started when the latter was batting and Kohli had something to say.

Gautam Gambhir has finally opened up about the saga. He said that it was an argument between two players on the field as both wanted to win. Speaking to News 18, he said:&nbsp;



"I have a lot of fights on the cricket field, I always keep them limited to the cricket field. A lot of people said a lot of things and demanded that I give interviews for TRP. There is no need for a flashback, it was an argument between two individuals that happened on the cricket field. If it had happened outside, you would have called it a fight, this was just two individuals who wanted to win for their team.?&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">?Naveen-ul-Haq was completely right,? Gautam Gambhir breaks silence on fight with Virat Kohli during IPL 2023</h2>



 Gautam Gambhir further explained that during the fight between Naveen-Ul-Haq and Virat Kohli, the Afghanistan pacer was right and that?s why he took his side. He also admitted that if his teammate was wrong, he wouldn?t have taken his side.?



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/virat-gautam.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir fined 100% Match Fee and Naveen-ul-Haq fined 50% Match fee after the post-match Brawl | Virat-Gambhir Fight" class="wp-image-110856" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir fined 100% Match Fee and Naveen-ul-Haq fined 50% Match fee after the post-match Brawl</figcaption></figure>



"I will just say this and not elaborate much, and I will say what I did, which I will endorse as I did for a person who was completely right in that match. If I felt Naveen Ul-Haq did nothing wrong, it was my responsibility to stand with him. If my teammate is wrong, I will never stand with him."&nbsp;



Both Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq made great contributions for their respective sides in the IPL 2023. But unfortunately couldn?t help their side win.&nbsp;

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Babar Azam's batting position decided; selectors not in favour of giving him this role

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
