Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday. However, instead of RCB's bowling heroics in the match, what became the central talking point was the war of words between Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir. The cricketers had a heated exchange after the match over certain incidents that took place during the final phase of the match. In fact, social media users flooded Twitter with hilarious memes and jokes. UP Police, well known for their witty tweets, shared a picture of Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir's verbal fight to promote their emergency number 112.
The text on the image read, "Koi bhi masla hamare liye 'Virat' aur 'Gambhir' nahi! (No issue is too big or serious for us)!" In the caption, UP Police wrote, "Avoid arguing, not calling us. Dial 112 in case of any emergency."
बहस से परहेज़ करें, हमें कॉल करने में नहीं।
