Naveen-ul-Haq was superb against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League 2023. He took 4 wickets in Eliminator but didn’t get support from the other end.
The five-time champions posted 182 in 20 overs and successfully bowled out Lucknow on a score of 101.
Naveen had to face Virat Kohli’s chants throughout the game as fans at Chepauk didn’t spare him for his involvement in the ugly spat with RCB player.
Naveen was also active on social media and took on Virat and RCB. He celebrated RCB’s elimination and even mocked Kohli with posts.
Meanwhile, the Afghanistan ace became a butt of jokes for his sweet mangoes post on the veteran Indian player. Sweet mangoes was the most trending topic on Twitter after heartbreak for the Lucknow-based franchise.
Naveen was reminded by Kohli’s supporters that taking on India’s favourite cricketer was not acceptable.
However, he broke his silence after his team couldn’t make it to Qualifier 2.
“Have lots to say but for now all I will say is thank you for all the love and support to the coaches, management everyone involved in this journey. Thanks Lucknow Super Giants,” he wrote.
MI will face Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 2. CSK defeated them by 15 runs to reach their 10th final.
