I was watching the match on the Tv and it surely looked that Gambhir was needling Kohli. Yes, as a senior pro Kohli should keep his temper at check. But that does not mean that BCCI should ignore the incident. It must be seriously investigated and suitable penalties ;levied and the penalty levied should be serious enough to deter the recurrence of such incidence. There is no much money riding on these IPL matches and one ugly word or incident can cause seriuous foot ball match like riots in the stands.

again in the march with Rajasthan Royals Gambir had gt into an imbroglio with of all people ERahul Dravid. Rahul has been around playing cricket may be even before Gambir was born. Rahul's tempaerament had been monuymental even against the low down Australian sledging. There is some thing with some of yjese youngsters like Gambir. This surely has to be looked into by the board lest at a future date the kind of sledging mahy lead to physical assault and more.

The faster he is rising , the more faster he is going to fall if he doesn't keep his temper in control. He is a sheer picture of arrogance besides talent , which can jeopardise his career . Thats for sure if he can not behave well on pitch . He should learn something from Dravid ,Kumble ,Gilchrist in terms of on field behaviour .
IPL is damaging the Indian Cricket in every possible way.
This Gambhir guy, when he has to play for India, he forgot how to bat and correctly kicked out of the team. And now, when he has to play for IPL, suddenly he remembers how to use the bat.
For this kind of people, IPL comes first, country second.
