Friday evening at the Hyderabad stadium had all the ingredients of a classic IPL clash. Sunrisers Hyderabad piled up a massive 255/4 before crushing Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 55 runs. But the real talking point emerged after the match ended.
Virat Kohli appeared to walk past Travis Head during the post-match handshake line following an intense on-field exchange earlier in the game. While Kohli acknowledged several SRH players, including Pat Cummins and Abhishek Sharma, cameras captured him seemingly avoiding Head, sparking instant chatter online.
The tension reportedly began during the match when Kohli, frustrated after Head’s aggressive batting, remarked, “Okay come down and bowl some deliveries.” Head responded, “Mate, you got out before I even came on to bowl.”
The moment quickly went viral, with fans debating whether the exchange crossed the line between competitive spirit and poor sportsmanship.
Former cricketers Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh also reacted to the incident, criticising Kohli’s gesture.
