Virat Kohli shared a cryptic post on his Instagram stories after his verbal altercation with Lucknow Super Giants mentor ‘Gautam Gambhir’ and Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq. The match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants was filled with drama as Kohli got into a war of words with Naveen during the 17th over, and had to be separated from Gambhir after they came face to face following RCB’s 18-run victory at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday.
Kohli, Gautam and Naveen have all been fined heavily following their on-field antics, and now the former RCB skipper has offered his thoughts on the whole fiasco but posting a cryptic message on social media.
Virat took his Instagram handle and posted a story which talked about ‘Opinions’ and ‘Truth’.
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth,” read the note shared by Kohli.
The 34-year-old was earlier seen celebrating Krunal Pandya’s dismissal with his usual on-field aggression, although he did blow a kiss to Lucknow fans, making a gesture to not remain silent which was supposedly a sly dig at Gambhir who had made a figure on the lips gesture to RCB fans after LSG’s win earlier this season.
