WATCH: Crowd chants Virat Kohli's name as Naveen-ul-Haq fields near boundary ropes against Bangladesh in ODI World Cup 2023

The India cricketer Virat Kohli and Afghanistan cricketer had a big face-off in the Indian Premier League 2023, which became a talking point throughout the season. The face-off was not limited to on the field, but the cricketers often took indirect jibes at each other even after the match by referring to each other indirectly with Instagram stories. The captions of their stories had cryptic messages.

During the IPL 2023, RCB and LSG had two close encounters, which not just led to thrilling matches between both the teams, but also led to many controversial moments. In the first match of the season between the two teams, LSG defeated RCB in a high scoring thriller. Avesh Khan’s celebration and mentor Gautam Gambhir’s gesture became a talking point after the match.

RCB came prepared to face LSG in Ekana stadium. On a slow wicket, the players from both the teams played as if they were personally invested in it. In the match, there was banter between many players. Mohammad Siraj, Amit Mishra, Naveen-Ul-Haq, and Virat Kohli were all involved in the fight. Even after the match, the banter continued and turned into a wild fight between Virat and Gambhir.

Naveen's ongoing feud with Virat and the chants of 'Kohli'

Naveen-ul-Haq became the center of the attraction after the fight. The Afghanistan pacer did not shake hands with Virat after the match and dragged the fight. Even after the match, Naveen decided to extend the fight. To date, the move of Naveen has not gone well with the fans of Virat. The Indian cricketer tried to sort out the things, but Naveen refused. After the IPL 2023, Naveen did not play a match for Afghanistan.

In the ODI World Cup 2023, the youngster made his appearance in the match against Bangladesh. During the match, the young bowler was seen fielding near the boundary ropes. The fans who had gathered to watch the match started chanting “Kohli...Kohli”, which was something similar to what happened with Gambhir in a match during the Asia Cup 2023.
