Royal Challengers Bangalore's premier fast bowler Mohammed Siraj is facing a lot of flak from fans on social media after he made an obscene gesture on camera following their match against Lucknow Super Giants on Monday. The incident happened after an intense match between RCB and LSG at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, where players from both sides were involved in a verbal altercation including India legends Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir.
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."
