The Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants clash in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 turned out to be a drama-filled encounter, with Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir clashing with each other after the game, prompting a sanction from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Kohli was a busy man all throughout the game, celebrating the dismissal of almost every LSG batter with utmost passion. He was even involved in a few altercations with Lucknow players Naveen-ul-Haq and Amit Mishra. After the game, Kohli celebrated the team's win with as much passion.
In a video that the RCB have shared on social media, Kohli looked pumped up as he celebrated the epic triumph in a low-scoring thriller against KL Rahul's men.
"That's a sweet win boys, sweet win, let's go!", the video starts with a pumped-up Kohli saying the word that's how we do it. A few seconds into the video, the RCB stalwart was heard saying, "If you can give it, you gotta take it. Otherwise, don't give it."

I think everyone had the belief that we can do it and we ended up on the winning side which is really great," said the 34-year-old.
