(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) The IPL 2024 clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders will be remembered for its nail-biting intensity. In a high-stakes match where RCB fell just short of a monumental chase, tensions ran high on the field. Amidst the drama, RCB's Virat Kohli and KKR's Gautam Gambhir found themselves in intense arguments with the umpires.
As RCB chased a mammoth total of 223 runs, Kohli's dismissal sparked controversy, leading to a heated exchange with the umpire. Meanwhile, Gambhir, in his role as KKR's mentor, was embroiled in a heated discussion with the fourth umpire.
The tension escalated further during the 19th over, with KKR captain Shreyas Iyer seen communicating with his team in the dugout.
