Kohli and Gambhir were involved in an on-field altercation after the latter was dismissed in the 10th over of the innings.
Suddenly, Gambhir was seen walking angrily towards his junior India team mate. However it was another Delhi lad Rajat Bhatia, who got in between them and tried to calm Gambhir down.
Both skippers admitted to the Level One offence (Article 2.1.4) of using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during the match.
For Level 1 breaches of the IPL Code of Conduct, the match referee’s decision is final and binding.
