Virat Kohli’s Surprising Clash With Cameron Green in IPL 2026

The May 13 clash in Raipur saw RCB triumph over KKR by six wickets, yet the headline was not the scoreline but a sudden on‑field altercation.

The Big Moment

• Virat Kohli dazzled with a 105‑run knock in just one over, powering RCB to a formidable total.
• During KKR’s reply, Kohli walked alongside wicketkeeper Piyush Chawla and brushed too close to Australian all‑rounder Cameron Green.
• In the instant their paths overlapped, Kohli pushed Green hard with both hands before moving on. Green remained calm and did not retaliate.

The Context

• Earlier, in the 13th over, young pacer Rasikh Salam delivered a low cross‑seam delivery that snapped the stumps, ending Green’s innings after just 32 runs from 24 balls.
• The disappointment may have seeded the tension that erupted later.

Match Highlights

• RCB’s bowlers stifled KKR, who were chasing 193. Kohli’s haul of 11 fours and three sixes sealed a comfortable win.

Aftermath

• The shove sparked online debate about sportsmanship and player conduct.
• Both players have shared dressing rooms before, raising questions about intent versus heat of the moment.

The incident remains a talking point as officials review whether disciplinary action is warranted.
