Following a fractious end to Monday evening's IPL recreation, with Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir having to be separated from one another, the Royal Challengers Bangalore batter addressed the state of affairs in a video printed by his crew on YouTube.

Captured candidly as he was celebrating with the remainder of the gamers, Kohli was seen saying, "That's a sweet win boys. A sweet win. If you can give it, you got to take it. Otherwise don't give it."

In celebrating that win, Gambhir was seen shushing the Chinnaswamy crowd, a gesture which Kohli reprised at Ekana stadium.

Back within the dressing room, and talking on to the digital camera, Kohli added, "It was a really important win for us. The fact that we got more support from the home crowd is an unbelievable feeling. It tells you all about how much we are liked as a team and how people come out and back us. It's a very sweet win. Feels very good for many reasons but most importantly for the kind of character we showed defending that total [126]. I think everyone had the belief that we could do it and we were on the winning side which is great."

The IPL took observe of the altercation and fined each Kohli and Gambhir 100% of their match charges. They had been discovered to be in breach of article 2.21 of the event's code of conduct, which covers all sort of conduct that brings the sport into disrepute, together with unruly public behaviour.
