Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batter Virat Kohli slammed his sixth century in IPL history as he made 100 against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Thursday, May 18 in Hyderabad. With a thumping 8-wicket win, RCB moved one step closer to playoffs qualification.
Kohli received wishes from everywhere after his scintillating century, including former DDCA president and eminent journalist Rajat Sharma as well.
Rajat Sharma congratulated Kohli for his stunning 63-ball 100-run that helped RCB knock off SRH's 187-run target with 8 balls to spare but he did not forget to take an indirect jibe at Gambhir.
"Magnificent 100 by Virat. It was a delight to watch. Of course, somebody somewhere may not be happy," Sharma tweeted after SRH vs RCB match in Hyderabad.
It was pretty evident that without naming anyone, he was referring to Gambhir in the latter part of his tweet. This comes a couple of weeks after Gambhir had launched a no-holds-barred attack on Sharma.

He too did not name the journalist-turned-administrator but dropped enough hints in his tweet for everyone to guess.
"A man who ran away from the job of running Delhi Cricket, citing pressure seems over-eager to sell paid PR as concern for cricket! yahii kalyug' hai jhaa 'bhgodd'e' apnii 'adaalt' chalaate hai (It is, perhaps, a testament to the times we are living in that a truant is running his own court)." Gambhir wrote.
Following his altercation with Kohli after the match between RCB and LSG in the IPL, Gambhir tweeted in response to Rajat Sharma's broadcast on India TV. Sharma blasted Gambhir for not acting appropriately during the on-field altercation with Kohli at Lucknow's Ekana Stadium in his program.
