From high-quality bowling and batting performances to heartwarming reunions, this game had everything one could have asked for fans. Fans who waited for Virat Kohli vs. Naveen-Ul-Haq Part 2 were disappointed when Kohli and Naveen went for a truce.

During India's run chase, former India skipper Virat Kohli asked fans to support Naveen and stop booing him. This gesture from King Kohli was appreciated by Naveen, who went to Kohli and shook hands with him. And in the end, they live happily ever after. The video of their reunion went viral on social media, and fans praised both for handling the situation maturely.

The commentators also praised Kohli's gesture and called it a remarkable moment.

"He has every right to fight for his self-respect", says Gautam Gambhir

Meanwhile, commentator Gautam Gambhir praised Virat Kohli's efforts to cool things down. On the other hand, he also backed Naveen-Ul-Haq and said that the Afghani pacer has all right to fight for his self-respect. He said, "Naveen-ul-Haq has every right to fight for his self-respect and team. He was there to win the game for his franchise. Virat should have kept in mind that Naveen was playing his first IPL season and was doing everything for the team. However, it is nice to see that both of them are talking to each other,” he said.

He also asked fans to avoid making any harsh comments on social media. “Fans should also stop targeting players on the ground and on social media. It is not right to give them bad names,” he added.
