May 3, 2016, NewCrunch
As KKR inched towards victory in Bangalore on Monday against RCB, its captain Gautam Gambhir had a curious reaction.
As his team mates stood up to applaud a boundary from Suryakumar Yadav off left-arm spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in the 19th over, Gambhir was seen kicking his chair and muttering angry words.
The chair tumbled back and it required Piyush Chawla to set it back into its position.
The boundary sealed the win and KKR went on to net the match by 5 wickets. The victory was a huge relief as KKR looked like it was losing the match chasing an impressive RCB total of 186.
So, what explains Gambhir’s baffling response?
Though he scored 37, Gambhir struggled with the bat and was erroneously declared LBW by the umpire.
The game with RCB was personal as he and Virat Kohli share bad blood. He was so involved, he had not even removed his pads till the end of the match.
So, when victory looked close and inevitable all that pent up anger and tension surfaced.
