Against Shahid Afridi in 2007

During the match, Gambhir and Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi indulged in a war of words after the India batter collided with latter while taking a single. This led to a heated argument between the two, which was later stopped by the on-field umpire.

It all started after Pakistan appealed for a caught behind to dismiss Gambhir but the on-field declared him not-out. Later, Gambhir and Pakistan wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal got into an argument. MS Dhoni had to intervene to sort out the matter.
Gambhir lost his cool during the Indian Premier League match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2013 and fought with star India batter Virat Kohli. Both the Delhi-based cricketers got engaged in a war of words after Gambhir allegedly said something to Kohli, following his dismissal. Both Kohli and Gambhir came closer and exchanged a few words before KKR batter Rajat Bhatia came and stopped the fight.
Exactly a decade later, Gambhir, who then became the mentor of Lucknow Super Giants, once again had an ugly spat against RCB batter Virat Kohli. This fight took place in May 2023 in Lucknow after LSG pacer Naveen-Ul-Haq had an exchange of words with Kohli. After the match, the things got heated up as Gambhir joined Naveen and other team players had to intervene to stop the ugly scenes.
