In the recent IPL 2026 match between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), an altercation occurred between Krunal Pandya and Nicholas Pooran. The incident took place when Pooran came to bat, following a bouncer from Pandya. Although they exchanged words on the field, it seemed to be harmless at the time. However, a clip surfaced showing Pooran grabbing Pandya by the collar post-match, which led to speculation about a dispute. Both players later took to social media to clarify that there was no animosity between them. Krunal shared a picture with Pooran, stating, “No lafda (no trouble), only love,” while Pooran echoed similar sentiments in the comments. In the match, LSG secured a victory by 9 runs after scoring 209 runs in 19 overs, with Mitchell Marsh contributing a significant 111 runs. RCB, despite a spirited effort, fell short of the adjusted target of 213 runs.
