After Friday's clash between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kohli and Head did not shake hands owing to an on-field spat between the two earlier in the game.
When Kohli got out, Head allegedly said something to the effect of Kohli getting out before he was needed to bowl. After the match, Kohli shook hands with the rest of the SRH side, but deliberately and dramatically ignored Head. Sanctions haven't been brought against either party yet.
The Sunil Gavaskar incident
During India's second innings, Gavaskar was batting on 70 when he was given lbw off Dennis Lillee, breaking India's opening stand of 165.
Chauhan returned to the field and continued to 85 before becoming the second of Lilee's four scalps in the innings. In the fourth innings, Kapil Dev took an excellent five-wicket haul in the fourth innings as India defended a very low target of 143.
Anybody can snap- Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar sat down with former Australia skipper Allan Border on the Midwicket Stories talk show and revisited the incident. Border played in that Test in 1981, but was not the captain. “Nothing similar happened, nowhere to be compared. You will have to ask both of them what happened,” said Gavaskar while weighing the two incidents against each other.
“Everything goes to the public domain a lot sooner… the clip that you saw of 1981, there have been videos of the 1981 incident, but two people in AB and me talking about it, that’s probably the first time where people got to know what happened, so it’s taken that long,” Sunil Gavaskar stated. “But now thanks to social media, it’s probably a lot more immediate in how it will come through.”
