A strange incident was seen between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Gujarat Titans. RCB won the toss and chose to bowl first. Gujarat, who came to bat first, had a very bad start. Gujarat not only scored the lowest score in this IPL powerplay but also lost 3 wickets. An incident happened during Gujarat's batting, when Virat Kohli demanded the umpire to give a decision against his own team. This post is becoming increasingly viral on social media.
RCB had to lose the review
This incident happened during the seventh over of Gujarat's batting. Vijaykumar Vesak came to bowl in this over. Wysak bowled David Miller on the 5th ball of the over, the ball went past Miller to the keeper. Many players including Dinesh Karthik appealed for out, but the umpire did not give out and did not give wide. Because of this, RCB felt that the ball might have taken the edge of the bat, hence RCB took a review. But when the third umpire checked, the ball did not hit the edge of the bat and Bengaluru had to lose the review. But the decision did not end here, after this Virat made some demands.

what is the whole matter
When the third umpire was conducting a review check, it was observed that the ball had neither taken the edge of the bat nor touched anywhere else, yet the third umpire asked the on-field umpire to stick to his decision. The ball was not touched anywhere, yet the on-field umpire did not give a wide. After this, Virat Kohli himself signaled the umpire to give wide. When Kohli signaled wide with both hands, the umpire also gave wide. In such a situation, Kohli demanded a wide from the umpire against his own team.
