New Delhi: RCB star batter Virat Kohli finally gave a reply to Gautam Gambhir’s ‘shut up’ taunt in the match against Lucknow Super Giants at the Ekana Sports City, on Monday. Gautam Gambhir told the Bangalore crowd to shut up by putting his finger on the lips after winning the previous contest.
Virat finally got the opportunity to do that in the fourth over after Glenn Maxwell dismissed Krunal Pandya. Virat was fielding near the boundary line and Pandya tried to clear the boundary but ended up hitting straight into Kohli’s hands.

Before the world starts saying Kohli was asking the world to shut up, or was giving it back to Gambhir, he was in fact saying, “Don’t shush me! Love to all!” I think! ? He is the King ? pic.twitter.com/SIBaaZtdWs

RCB batting first put 126 runs on board at the loss of 9 wickets but LSG couldn’t capitalise on this as they lost their first five wickets by the seventh over itself.
LSG Restricts RCB On 126 Runs
Stellar efforts from fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq and the leg-spin duo of Ravi Bishnoi and Amit Mishra helped Lucknow Super Giants restrict Royal Challengers Bangalore to a modest 126/9 in 20 overs at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Monday.
On a challenging black soil pitch, Bangalore began their innings well by not losing wickets in the Power-play. But as the innings progressed, they kept losing wickets as Naveen picked 3-30 while Bishnoi and Mishra had identical figures of 2-21 to tie down Bangalore.
Barring a 44 from captain Faf du Plessis, Bangalore’s batters weren’t given any breathing space to break the shackles and could only hit eight boundaries in their innings, the lowest by any team in IPL 2023 till now.
