Mumbai: In a highly anticipated match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow SuperGiants (LSG) on May 1, RCB emerged victorious with an 18-run lead. However, it wasn't just the thrilling encounter that captivated IPL fans worldwide. The intense heated exchange between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir during the match quickly went viral, making headlines and sparking numerous discussions and memes. Now, an anonymous coder has taken this incident a step further by creating a video game based on the heated spat.
The developer, who describes themselves as an occasional video game creator in their Twitter bio, showcased their amateur attempt at game development on GitHub. The game, built using Unity's game engine, features simplistic 2D graphics but has gained significant attention on social media. Despite its lack of polish, players have been enjoying the game as a casual pastime.
To play the game, users simply visit the associated website (Unity WebGL Player | KohliVsGambhir (aeroandzero.github.io)) and choose between Kohli and Gambhir. Once selected, they are placed on a cricket field with their chosen player. The game revolves around a brawl between the two teams, with players wielding cricket bats to attack each other.
Accompanying the teaser video of the game, the creator, who goes by the handle @aeronzero, tweeted, "I made a game so that they can fight properly." The video demonstrates the game's simplistic interface and gameplay, showing players from both teams engaging in bat-wielding combat.
The game concludes when only one player remains standing, and the winning player's team is declared the overall victor. If the player has chosen Kohli and successfully defeats Gambhir, they can then assist their teammates by navigating towards them.
While the game provides entertainment value, it's crucial to remember that it is intended purely for amusement and not to be taken seriously. It represents a lighthearted take on the Kohli-Gambhir drama, offering fans a fun diversion.
The video showcasing the game quickly went viral on social media, prompting numerous hilarious comments from viewers. Some have even suggested that the game should be expanded into a full-fledged app.

CM Siddaramaiah labels Kumaraswamy 'Manuvadi" over Bhagavad Gita curriculum push
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday took a swipe at Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy, by calling him a "Manuvadi" after his alliance with the BJP, for seeking the inclusion of Bhagavad Gita in curriculum for students.
The CM's dig came in response to Kumaraswamy's recent letter to Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan, requesting the inclusion of the Bhagavad Gita in the curriculum of students.
"After Kumaraswamy joined hands with the BJP for elections, he has become a Manuvadi," Siddaramaiah told reporters here after paying tributes to B R Ambedkar on his 69th death anniversary here.

Remembering Ambedkar, Siddaramaiah highlighted his contribution to the Constitution and his relentless fight to provide social justice.
The CM noted said fed up with social and caste system in Hinduism, and unable to reform it, Ambedkar accepted Buddhism.
He said, "Ambedkar, towards the end of his life, quit Hinduism and joined Buddhism. He was born in Hinduism, but cannot die in Hinduism, because he could not reform Hinduism, despite several efforts, so he accepted Buddhism."
