Chasing an enormous goal of 256, Kohli looked under pressure and visibly frustrated during his short time on the crease. Even after the match ended, the emotions appeared to proceed as he appeared to avoid a usual handshake with <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Travis Head<\/span><span class=\"s2\">through the post-match greetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"> When the RCB players went to congratulate the SRH team after the loss, Head stretched out his hand towards Kohli. Nonetheless, Kohli walked past him and continued greeting the opposite SRH players without responding to the Australian opener. The incident quickly went viral on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Uncomfortable to look at extreme bad behavior by a person of such stature didn\u2019t expect this from Virat Kohli <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SRHvsRCB?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SRHvsRCB<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cTfMV9RuDD\">pic.twitter.com\/cTfMV9RuDD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 AVNISH \ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf3 (@avnishh26) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/avnishh26\/status\/2057895119467245903?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Virat Kohli &#038; Travis Head In Fiery On-Field Exchange During SRH Clash<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Earlier within the match, the stress was already visible when <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Venkatesh Iyer<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> began attacking the SRH bowlers, especially during an aggressive over against <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Shivang Kumar<\/span><span class=\"s2\">.

Head, who has mostly played as an Impact Player this season and hasn\u2019t spent much time on the sphere usually, stayed involved within the match after <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Sunrisers Hyderabad replaced<\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0Salil Arora with <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Harshal Patel<\/span><span class=\"s2\">, adding much more excitement to the already intense game.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ViratKohli?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ViratKohli<\/a> \ud83c\udd9a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TravisHead?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TravisHead<\/a> \ud83e\udd75\ud83e\udd2f<\/p>\n<p>Tensions rise in high voltage clash\ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TATAIPL?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TATAIPL<\/a> Race to Playoffs 2026 \ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SRHvRCB?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SRHvRCB<\/a> | LIVE NOW \u27a1\ufe0f<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/52qPTW2gSO\">https:\/\/t.co\/52qPTW2gSO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JOiWaxNW6T\">pic.twitter.com\/JOiWaxNW6T<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StarSportsIndia\/status\/2057868461070819593?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 22, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Meanwhile, <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Virat Kohli<\/span><span class=\"s2\"> couldn&#8217;t stay long on the crease and was dismissed for just 15 runs within the last over of the powerplay by <\/span><span class=\"s1\">Sakib Hussain<\/span><span class=\"s2\">.
