A video has been making the rounds on social media recently, capturing Virat Kohli in a seemingly heated argument with a Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) player following an IPL match.
Many fans have been circulating the clip under the impression that it depicts the aftermath of the latest RCB vs SRH match, where Royal Challengers Bengaluru fell short by 25 runs. However, a closer look reveals that this video is actually misleading.
Virat Kohli didn’t involve in a verbal fight
A closer look reveals that the video is, in fact, from the 2023 IPL season, not the ongoing one. The footage shows Kohli engaged in a conversation with his friend and fellow cricketer Mayank Agarwal. Upon closer inspection, their exchange appears to be more in the nature of friendly banter rather than a serious argument.

During the first innings, Kohli was also seen showing his frustration.
