Naveen-ul-Haq recently made headlines for his on-field scuffle with Team India great Virat Kohli in the Indian Premier League. What started as a staredown, followed by a heated exchange of words between both players, ended up becoming a massive spat. Days after the tense scenes unfolded during the Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Match 44 of Indian Premier League 2023, the 23-year-old Afghan pacer has put out another cryptic post.
Naveen-ul-Haq took to his official Instagram handle on Saturday and posted a picture, where he was seen posing with the Lucknow Super Giants mentor Gautam Gambhir. “Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to,” the caption of the post read. It is worth noting that, Gambhir played a significant part during the on-field spat against Virat Kohli.
Although RCB successfully bowled out LSG for 108 runs, securing a victory, Virat and Naveen engaged in another exchange of words before Amit Mishra intervened. As the players shook hands, the young Afghan cricketer shrugged off the gesture from the iconic player, prompting a strong reaction from Kohli. Both players were then separated by their teammates.
