Virat Kohli vs Travis Head Handshake Controversy: The names of Virat Kohli and Travis Head are currently trending on social media. Actually, there was an altercation between these two players in the 67th match of IPL 2026. This match was played at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. In this match, Virat had said something to Travis Head and after that Head also replied to him. After the match was over, Virat Kohli did not even shake hands with Travis Head, whereas he met every player of Sunrisers Hyderabad. This video went viral on social media. But the question here is why no action was taken against Virat Kohli in this matter? Why did BCCI not even warn him? Let us tell you the reason for this.
Why did BCCI not take action against Virat Kohli?
Virat Kohli did not shake hands with Travis Head, after this a lot is being said against him on social media but the truth here is that this player has not broken any rule by not shaking hands. Handshake is seen as part of the spirit of cricket, it is not a rule. In the T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan, both the players did not shake hands. There was no action there either, hence BCCI also did not take any action here.
