Delhi Capitals (DC) are currently facing Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 50 of IPL 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Opting to bat first, RCB posted 181/4 on the board with key contributions from Mahipal Lomror (54* off 29), Faf du Plessis (45 off 32) and Virat Kohli (55 off 46).

During the chase, once again found themselves in the middle of a drama all over again as pacer Mohammed Siraj engaged in a war of words with DC opener Phil Salt.

The heated altercation took place in the fifth over of Delhi’s innings. Siraj bowled a quick short ball outside off and Salt backed out of the pull and said something which didn’t please the bowler.

The two then got into a verbal spat. DC skipper David Warner tried to calm the situation and Siraj put a finger to his lips making a gesture to silence Phil Salt.

Here’s the video:

In RCB’s last game against Lucknow Super Giants, veteran batter Virat Kohli was also involved in a heated exchange with Naveen-ul-Haq and Gautam Gambhir.

Things did look ugly in that fixture and all three were fined for breaching the IPL code of conduct.
