Targeted By Hyderabad Crowd With Virat Kohli Chants, Gautam Gambhir Trends On Twitter

Gautam Gambhir was targeted with Virat Kohli chants during the IPL 2023 match between Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad on Saturday.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants game in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 season won't just be remembered for Nicholas Pooran's heroic batting at the death but also for the home crowd's unruly behaviour. The match encountered plenty of trouble from fans over certain incidents that took place on the field. However, even when there were no triggers, fans started to chant the name of Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli, especially when LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir was around. Even on social media platform Twitter, Gambhir became one of the top trends during and after the match.

After what happened between Kohli and Gambhir during the RCB vs LSG clash on May 1, the incident has remained a hot topic of discussion among fans on social media. Even in the stadium, fans' actions aren't letting the controversy dissolve.

The unruly behaviour of Sunrisers Hyderabad supporters even halted proceedings of their IPL match against Lucknow Super Giants after on-field umpires Akshay Totre, J Madangopal and TV umpire Yeshwant Barde earned the fans' wrath for poor a 'no-ball' DRS call in the penultimate over here on Saturday.
