The recent IPL 2023 match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on April 15th saw a surprising moment between RCB batter Virat Kohli and DC's Director of Cricket, Sourav Ganguly. 

Despite Kohli's impressive half-century, which helped RCB secure a much-needed win after two consecutive losses, Ganguly was caught on camera avoiding a handshake with the player.

While it is customary for players and support staff members from both teams to shake hands after a match, Ganguly was seen jumping the queue to avoid Kohli. This incident has since gone viral on social media, sparking debate and speculation about the rift between the two.

Watch:

It is worth noting that Virat Kohli was removed from his position as India's ODI captain during Sourav Ganguly's tenure as BCCI President. Additionally, a video clip from a game has gone viral on the internet, showing Kohli giving a piercing look to Ganguly after catching Aman Hakim Khan at long-on in the 18th over of Delhi's innings.

Here's the video:

Talking about the match, RCB secured a resounding 23-run victory over DC in the match. The Bangalore-based franchise put up a formidable score of 174/6 on the board, thanks to Kohli's impressive 34-ball 50. In response, the visitors could only manage 151/9 in their allotted 20 overs. Although Manish Pandey scored a commendable 38-ball 50, he lacked support from the other end.

The RCB bowlers were the stars of the show, with Vijaykumar Vyshak taking 3 wickets for 20 runs, Mohammed Siraj taking 2 wickets for 23 runs, and Wayne Parnell taking 1 wicket for 28 runs. Together, they claimed six scalps and played a crucial role in securing the team's victory.
