Virat Kohli is well known for his aggressive behaviour and often ends up in fights with opposition players on the field. During the IPL 2023, Kohli was in the headlines for his verbal spat with Lucknow Super Giants’ (LSG) bowler Naveen ul Haq and mentor Gautam Gambhir.

The heated exchange between Kohli and Gambhir became a major point of discussion among fans and experts alike. He was later even fined for his conduct. However, it was not the first time Kohli was involved in an on-field brawl.

“He would have been a wrestler if he was not a cricketer,” said Bhuvneshwar.
