Star India batter Virat Kohli and former opener Gautam Gambhir may have played together for India for some time and were both part of the triumphant 2011 World Cup team, but the duo always triggers the flashback of their infamous 2013 IPL spat which has resulted in many believing the presence of a rift between the two stalwarts of Indian cricket. Monday had a similar tale to tell.

Both Kohli and Gambhir added another chapter to their bitter rivalry as they indulged in an ugly face-off after Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs. Some found it juvenile, a few others liked the spice and the idea of intense rivalry, while the firm believers of the 'Gentlemen's Game' thought it could have been avoided.
