Another conflict was seen taking place during the customary handshakes after the match when Virat Kohli and Naveen -ul-Haq exchanged a few more words and Kyle Mayers was talking to Virat Kohli when Gautam Gambhir took him away. Following a stare by Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir was seen shouting at him before charging at his teammate. This followed another heated conversation between the two before other players came in and tried to diffuse the situation after separating them.
