Delhi: The match played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on Sunday in a crucial match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 came into the limelight when there was an argument between Virat Kohli and KL Rahul on the ground. This incident happened when Kohli was batting and Rahul was doing wicketkeeping. The video of this quarrel is becoming fiercely viral on social media.
What was the reason for the dispute?
Former Indian spinner Piyush Chawla while talking on the issue after the match said that Kohli was angry with DC taking time to set up fielding. He told this to Rahul, to which Rahul turned back and replied that it would be harmful for his team, because it can lead to a penalty of slow over rate. There was a debate between the two players about this.
