The video is from the 18th over of Delhi's chase of 175. In the third ball of that over, Kohli had taken a catch at long-on to dismiss Aman Hakim Khan for 18 off 10. As Kohli was walking his way back to his fielding position near the boundary rope, he gave a death stare to Ganguly. RCB won and after the match, the players queued up to shake hands with DC players and management congratulating their RCB counterparts on the win.
In the clips that have gone viral, Ganguly was snapped jumping the queue to avoid having a handshake with Kohli, who had by then been spotted chatting with Ricky Ponting, head coach of Delhi, who was standing ahead of the former BCCI president.
