Tempers flared in the Indian Premier League match between Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Travis Head's Sunrisers Hyderabad, culminating in a refusal to shake hands after a 55-run defeat for Bengaluru. The match featured a heated exchange between Kohli and Head, particularly when Kohli gestured for Head to bowl while he was batting. Kohli also made a mocking gesture regarding Head's role as an 'impact player', which refers to Head being substituted for a specialist bowler after his batting innings. Kohli managed to score 15 runs off 11 balls before being dismissed by Hyderabad's bowling attack. Despite the loss, Bengaluru remains at the top of the IPL standings due to a superior net run rate, while Hyderabad is now tied on points with them, both having qualified for the playoffs starting Wednesday. The intense atmosphere of the match highlighted the competitive spirit of the IPL, showcasing the high stakes as teams vie for playoff positions.
