Lucknow: A cracking IPL 2023 game on Monday between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants lost its sheen due to some unwanted controversies. Former RCB captain Virat Kohli got into a banter with LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir and that is drawing massive reactions on social media. Former India legend Harbhajan Singh, who himself had got into a scuffle with Sreesanth, opined on the spat between Kohli-Gambhir. Admitting that such incidents are not good for the game, Harbhajan claimed he is ashamed of what he did against Sreensanth.
“Whatever happened between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir was not right for cricket. I’m ashamed of what I did with S Sreesanth,” said Harbhajan on his YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, Kohli and Gambhir have been slapped with fines.

Similarly, Mr Kohli admitted to the Level 2 offence under Article 2.21 of the IPL Code of Conduct and has been fined 100 per cent of his match fee.
