Colombo: Former Indian cricketer and current BJP MP, Gautam Gambhir, has again stirred controversy during the India vs. Nepal match by making an offensive gesture towards fans who were chanting the name of cricketer Virat Kohli. 

Video footage of the incident quickly circulated on social media wherein he can be seen flashing his middle finger to the fans of Virat Kohli, leading fans to accuse Gambhir of displaying jealousy and insecurity towards Kohli. Many expressed their disbelief that a Member of Parliament would engage in such behavior in public.

The rivalry between Gambhir and Kohli, as well as their respective fan bases, has been ongoing, particularly since an on-field altercation between the two during an IPL match earlier this year when Gambhir was serving as the mentor of a team. 

Recently, during a match between India and Pakistan, Gambhir criticized Kohli's performance, particularly his dismissal by Shaheen Afridi, referring to Kohli's shot as a "nothing shot" that led to the ball hitting his stumps and dismissing him
