Virat Kohli vs Naveen ul Haq: Naveen ul Haq clashed with Virat Kohli on the field (PC: Video Screenshot)
New Delhi: Ever since Virat Kohli’s Gautam Gambhir and Naveen-ul-Haq’s clash, IPL 2023 has been a different adventure. Fans from both the sides have also joined in this. Especially the fans of Virat Kohli are raising slogans against Gambhir and Naveen-ul-Haq on the field as soon as they get a chance. Something similar happened in the match of Lucknow Super Giants against Mumbai Indians, where Naveen came on target this time.
On Tuesday, Lucknow won by 5 wickets in a thrilling match against Mumbai Indians at their home ground Ekana Stadium. In this match, Afghan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq also returned, who was running out of the team for the last 2 matches. Naveen’s time in bowling was bad, he got 40 runs in his 4 overs and did not get any wicket, also he did not get much love from the fans.
Naveen on target of his own fans
One such video has now surfaced. During this match, when Naveen was fielding near the boundary, some fans were trying to tease him by shouting slogans in the name of Virat Kohli. However, Naveen also kept his emotions under control and gestured with his hand and asked them to continue raising slogans. Then focused back on the match.

Slogans raised in front of Gambhir
Such sloganeering against the player of Lucknow’s own team on Lucknow’s ground must have been shocking for Naveen, but this is not the first such incident. On May 1, he had a confrontation with Kohli at the same ground between Bangalore and Lucknow. After this, when the Chennai team came to Lucknow, slogans were raised in front of Gautam Gambhir in the name of Kohli. Similarly, when the Lucknow team went to Hyderabad, the spectators tried to tease them by shouting Kohli-Kohli.
Shooting on social media too
By the way, Naveen ul Haq has also done the work of adding ghee to this fire. He targeted Kohli by posting two pictures on his social media during Bangalore’s match against Mumbai. He had posted these pictures first after the fall of Kohli’s wicket and then after Bangalore’s defeat.
