The feud between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir conquered headlines in the cricketing world on Monday, following Royal Challengers Bangalore’s empathetic 18-run win at the Ekana Sports City. Former teammates Kohli and Gambhir found themselves in the middle of a massive controversy due to the heated scuffle between them after the match. While the much-anticipated match featured several heated moments, Kohli’s heated exchange of words with multiple LSG members including their mentor Gambhir was the main talking point.

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli has now put out a cryptic post on his Instagram stories, which could very well be aimed at his former teammate. He took to his official Instagram handle on Tuesday morning and put out a story, which read, “Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth”.
