Does Virat Kohli unfollow Sourav Ganguly on Instagram No Handshake At RCB vs DC Clash? Virat Report Claims

The 20th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC), grabbed a lot of attention for various reasons. Virat Kohli played a brilliant innings and scored his third half-century, which helped him jump up on the Orange Cap list. Meanwhile, his knock also resulted in DC’s fifth consecutive loss of the season. However, more than the players’ performances, the virtual altercation between Kohli and former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly was the topic of discussion among fans.

Several videos surfaced on social media that showed Kohli giving Ganguly a stare while the latter was seated in the DC dugout. The incident took place during the 18th over of the match when RCB was on the verge of victory against DC. In another video, Ganguly was seen jumping the queue during the customary post-match handshakes between teams, after DC head coach Ricky Ponting stopped Kohli.

The sequence of events gave rise to speculation that there could be a problem between the two former Indian skippers. Kohli’s alleged act has caused a massive uproar on social media, and reports suggest that he has unfollowed Ganguly on Instagram, while the latter continues to follow him.

What could be behind Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly’s Alleged Rift?

This is not the first time that there have been reports of tensions between Virat Kohli and Sourav Ganguly. In October 2021, Kohli stepped down as India’s T20 captain and was subsequently removed from the post in the ODIs as well. The move sparked a controversy, with Kohli claiming that he was not informed about the decision by the BCCI. However, Sourav Ganguly contradicted Kohli’s statement, leading to further speculation about a rift between the two.

The incident became a significant matter of discussion at that time, and months later, Kohli relinquished his Test captaincy as well following India’s 2-1 defeat in South Africa. The relationship between Kohli and Ganguly remains a subject of speculation, and it remains to be seen whether the two can reconcile their differences and work towards a common goal.
