Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq had a memorable moment during India’s 2023 ODI World Cup match against Afghanistan. They got into a heated argument during one of the Lucknow Super Giants vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL games in 2023. After the game concluded in Lucknow in May 2023, the scenes became quite tense.
When the two faced off in the international competition, they decided to part ways. Naveen spoke candidly about his experience in the LSG interview. The Lucknow Super Giants Pacer discussed their relationship on the franchise’s podcast. He said, “I respect Virat Kohli as a player. He has accomplished a great deal as a cricketer and continues to deliver outstanding performances. That must be acknowledged. We made eye contact, and he said, ‘Let’s finish our differences,’ to which I agreed.”
Naveen-ul-Haq on a podcast chat:
Naveen insisted that he had never harboured ill will toward Virat. He explained, “The incident occurred on the field, and we moved on. I never expected to sledge him or say anything to him the next time we met. He was representing his country in the World Cup, while I was representing mine. He told the crowd to stop calling him that, and it was a nice gesture.”
Fans misconstrued Naveen’s caption, in which he explained that he was eating the fruit while watching the game and had nothing to do with Virat. As Mumbai defeated Lucknow in the playoffs, fans mocked Naveen by referring to mangoes.
The Afghanistan pacer explained, “I told Dhawal (Kulkarni) Bhai when he would get mangoes for me because it was mango season. He brought me mangoes on that fateful day when MI faced RCB. I was watching the game and made a random post, and the picture I used did not even include Virat. My post featured players from the Mumbai Indians.” Fans have poured in crazy reactions to his new interview on social media. The internet is buzzing with praises and compliments to the young cricketer.
So, this was all about the ace pacer Naveen-ul-Haq getting candid on his relationship status with ace Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. Also read, ‘Virat & Rohit of comedy’- Fans on Kapil & Sunil comeback!
