5 interesting gestures by players at IPL 9 and what they signified

Gambhir’s anger spills out

It was later learnt that Gambhir had been angry about a wide conceded in the 19th over

While most of the gestures at IPL are purposeful, meant to communicate a specific message, not all gestures are of sweetness and light. Gautam Gambhir, the KKR skipper, has been seen twice losing his cool this season.

He was spotted angrily kicking a chair in the dugout in the middle of his team’s match against RCB. He was subsequently fined 15% of his match fees, but that was not to be the last time Gambhir would be seen angrily gesticulating.

During the return leg against RCB, Gambhir again lost his temper, and was seen throwing the ball with unnecessary force towards an end to which Virat Kohli was running. The umpires spotted the 19th over incident and called him. Gambhir angrily approached the umpire, waving his hands wildly, clearly angry with something. Kohli, who was at the crease, smiled on.

Is there something about facing RCB that makes Gambhir resort to more than his usual gestures?
