This is for violating the IPL law of Conduct. Both got involved in yet another important hassle and had a go at each other post-match as well. The match was at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
As per the BCCI statement, both Gambhir and Kohli have admitted to the position 2 offense under Composition 2.21 of the IPL Code of Conduct. It was not the first heated case involving Kohli and Gambhir in the IPL moreover. They had played in 2013 during an RCB-KKR match when Gambhir captained KKR’s team.
