North Indian especially Delhiites have good control over abusive language. There is so much of ego and easy mouthfull of dirt that when to the wall the language just spills over. They want only praises but just try to criticise and you will see their true colours.
These are petty issue and part of this game. We all also fight like this while playing even on gully cricket. so nothing new in this.After all both plays for delhi and at the end of day both will share the same dressing room while playing for India.
I was actually at the stadium and had a whale of a time watching RCB win and watch gayle hit those monstrous sixes. And whats wrong with a bit of aggression on the field? It shows that IPL is not micky mouse cricket as some of its detractors(a few of them) call it, and say its bad for the game and stuff. ANd Virat is one of the best playing, and Gambhir has been a great servant of Indian cricket(i hope people havent forgotten the 97 in the wc final). These guys deserve better than people having a go at them for showing a bit of passion. And btw, this is nothing compared to how the Aussies have behaved over the years, with their so-called mental disintegration. So if they can do it, so can we. Anyway, these guys are our countrys future captains, so it can only be good for India in the long run. So chill out guys, and let the next game begin!!

Anyway it's staged Drama just meant for fools like Nisha to give feel of serious cricket being played in name of IPL. But i think no need for this drama, Indian people have plenty of time to waste on cricket and movies.

Very well said Intel. Please use "most of Indians" but not all.
If u see clearly , this brawl was started by Gambhir, not Kohli, Kohli was heading back, Gambhir went past him, abused him, celebrated with his teammates and then came back again to have a go at Kohli, It true that Kohli loves to abuse and use harsh words, but this time it was Gambhir who was thrown out of Indian team and is hungry like a beggar to be back in the team.

pls dont generalise things.... enjoy IPL....these all r part of game. Seems u r new to cricket
Of late Kohli has begun to resemble a Sreenath clone with Gambhir trying hard to be his Harbhajan Singh...(!) Gambhir should stop behaving like a schoolboy whose water bottle has been snatched by a naughtly Kohli...! All in all, disgusting antics on the field. Grow up and if this is what you end up after making a few million bucks shame on you guys!!
Re: Gambhir was not selected for India team and hence angry .

no bro,its all arrogance of Kohli and frustration of Kohli
BCCI has to take strong action in making them to behave properly in the field.National players should set an example in their behavior. it will undermine their image. Very bad, bad.
