There was some usual banter while Kohli was batting. Travis seemed to leave it on the field, but Kohli, as usual, took it personally. Come on, bro, you're 37, stop acting like you're 17. Poor sportsmanship.

At times he behaves so immature, especially for a player of his stature.

Head is one of the chillest guys in modern cricket. He just plays his game and gets along with everyone. Even after a spat with Siraj in a Test, they later patched things up. It's weird why Kohli went after him of all people. The handshake drama was odd - Head even extended his hand to Kohli.

Yeah, I didn't get it either. You sledged him first, he got out, then he sledged back. It was basically shown by Head offering a handshake - that wasn't good on his part.

This is really disturbing. I don't know why, but it affected my love for him. Why act so childish? When the other player puts his ego aside and offers a handshake, you should accept it. This behaviour is unacceptable. Apologies to SRH and Travis Head from an RCB fan for this incident. I hope SRH doesn't face RCB again this season - if they do, Head will probably smash a 35-ball hundred. Totally unnecessary and uncalled for. First, you should apologise yourself, and when the other person responds, you feel bad? He once said, "If you have to give, you must learn to take it as well." What happened now?
