Srinagar: Former India cricketer and Coach Ravi Shastri has reacted to the Virat Kohli vs Gautam Gambhir spat during recent IPL 20243 match between RCB and LSG.
Kohli and Gambhir were involved in an ugly face-off after match between RCB and LSG. Reflecting on the infamous verbal spat involving the two icons of the game, former India head coach Ravi Shastri has simply urged the duo to bury the hatchet.
‘This could have been handled a lot better’
“I think the penny will drop in a day or two. And they will realise that this could have been handled a lot better. Both play for the same state and they have played enough cricket. Gautam is a double World Cup winner, and Virat is an icon. Both come from Delhi. I think the best thing would be to sit them both down and put an end to it. Once and for all,” Shastri said on Star Sports.
Besides his on-field altercation with Gambhir, former RCB skipper Kohli also had heated arguments with Naveen-ul-Haq and Kyle Mayers. Kohli and Gambhir were duly punished by BCCI.
Shastri said Gambhir and Kohli will have to sort their issues out before it continues till the next game.
“Whoever does it, the sooner the better, because you don’t want this to spill off. Carrying on, the next time they meet again there are words exchanged and one thing leads to another. The sooner the better. If I have to do it so be it,” he added.
