Star India batter Virat Kohli on Thursday took a dig at trolls who were `disappointed` with the change in his aggressive on-field behaviour as he recently shared hugs with Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq and former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir, with whom he was involved in a heated verbal spat during the Indian Premier League (IPL) last year.
Kohli last year was involved in a verbal spat with both Naveen and Gambhir (then Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) mentor) after Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the IPL match by 18 runs at Lucknow in May. The trigger point of this spat was Gambhir shushing RCB`s home crowd at Chinaswammy Stadium after their loss to LSG in their previous encounter and the aggressive way with which Avesh Khan threw his helmet on the ground as a part of his celebration after LSG won the match.
