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.

Sexual Abuse case : Four more detained in connection with kidnap of woman in Karnataka
Bengaluru (PTI): The Special Investigation Team formed to probe the alleged sexual abuse cases against Hassan JD(S) MP Prajwal Revanna has detained four more people in connection with kidnapping a woman, sources in the SIT said on Thursday. The SIT has already arrested Prajwal's father and Holenarasipura MLA H D Revanna who is under judicial custody at the Parappana Agrahara Central Jail.
The 66-year-old Revanna is the son of former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda.
The four people were picked up to find out their role in the case, police said.
Revanna's aide Sathish Babanna was also arrested and is in police custody. Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Wednesday had said that a third person had been arrested, but declined to divulge their identity citing investigation procedures.
Revanna and Babanna were arrested first for allegedly kidnapping a woman, a mother of three, from her house and keeping her under illegal detention, police sources said.
The woman has been rescued, the sources added.
Police took the action against the 20-year-old son of the victim woman who charged that his mother had figured in the huge cache of explicit videos leaked recently of women who were allegedly raped and molested by Prajwal.
All the four are from Krishnaraja nagara in Mysuru.
