Gambhir also reacted to the post.
"Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to #With (Goat Emoji)," Naveen captioned the picture on Instagram. Reacting to the post, Gambhir wrote: "Be who you are !! 'Never Change'."

Virat and Gambhir were also fined 100% of their fees for the match. Both admitted to breaching the IPL code of conduct related to bringing the game into disrepute.
