Amid this, Royal Challengers Bengaluru were hurled with another piece of controversy as footage went viral on social media showing Virat Kohli in a spat with Mayank Agarwal.

IPL 2024 Fact Check: Virat Kohli-Mayank Agarwal Fight is False, It was an Old Banter

After a proper examination, MyKhel can confirm that the ongoing reports of Virat Kohli's fight with Mayank Agarwal are a hoax and it has no connection with reality.

Virat Kohli and Mayank Agarwal's video is of last year as the jerseys of both Kohli and Agarwal can be easily determined as old ones. Also, the incident that we can see here was a banter between the two players as soon they could be seen chatting and laughing at each other. Hence, it was never a fight between Virat and Mayank in the first place, and it was an incident from last season.
