While the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) match between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) caught the eyes of the world, another moment that did not go unnoticed was the RCB legend’s animated chat with Kyle Mayers. 
Even after the match, the members from both parties took to social media to take an indirect dig at each other. It was too obvious that they did not accept each other’s aggressive behaviors even after the match.
West Indies’ Kyle Mayers, with whom Kohli had an animated chat, talked about the former India captain’s aggressive behavior. He praised the former RCB skipper for showing aggressiveness during a recent interview with Fan Code.
In a recent interview with Fan Code Kyle Mayers talked about Virat Kohli and the most precious wicket between to Indian great batsmen Kohli and Rohit.
“Question – Among Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, which one would be your most precious wicket?”
“Virat Kohli. Any bowler would like to get out Kohli, he’s one of the best players across formats” said Kyle Mayers on Fancode.
While talking about his banter with RCB star batter Virat Kohli in IPL 2023 season he replied:
“Question- You had a little bit of banter with Virat Kohli in the IPL, what do you think of his aggression in the game?
“I think it’s great sometimes you know you need to get out the opposition, you know if you need to create any chance anything you could and possibly get out of the game. You know but yaa being aggressive is also good you know it shows courage and willingness to get the team cross the line,” Mayers said.
Something happened during LSG’s innings between Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq; as both exchanged heated words between them. After the match, Kohli and Mayers fought over something and they were interrupted by Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir took Mayers away from Kohli and both started going in opposite directions. But they must have said something while going which led to that infamous Kohli-Gambhir fight.
Kohli seemed to have repeatedly mouthed: “Did I tell you anything.” While Gambhir reportedly said: “Now you will teach me?“
The incident sparked major controversy as both Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100% of their match fees. Naveen was also given a 50% penalty. Mayers and Kohli are said to have had a war of words with each other after the LSG star’s dismissal.
