RCB defeated LSG in their own backyard by 18 runs. After the game, Virat Kohli got involved in a heated exchange with Gambhir and Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq, who also had an argument with the former RCB captain on the field during LSG's batting innings. RCB shared a dressing room video in the morning, where Siraj can be seen making obscene gestures on camera, apparently directing it toward his opposition. In the same video, Kohli can be heard calling their victory a "sweeeet win."
