The excitement in IPL (IPL 2023) was seen at its peak from the beginning. The thrill was such that the players on the field were seen sledding several times. One of those cases was shown between former RCB captain Virat Kohli and Lucknow all-rounder Naveen-ul-Haq.
After the IPL 2023 match between RCB and Lucknow Super Giants on May 1, there was a huge brawl on the field. India’s former captain Virat Kohli started the conflict with Afghanistan, and Pacer Naveen-ul-Haq of Lucknow was seen. After this, there was a tussle between Lucknow’s mentor, Gautam Gambhir and Virat. This whole incident made a lot of headlines for 4-5 days.
Many statements had also come to the fore. Even after all this, there was a dispute between Naveen and Virat on Instagram or other social media without naming anyone. Now after this incident, an interview with Naveen ul Haq has come to the fore for the first time.
This interview of the Afghanistan pacer has been done by his franchise Lucknow bowler Avesh Khan. In the video shared by the franchise, both Naveen and Avesh pick up the piece of paper one by one and ask each other the questions written in it. Meanwhile, many things come to the fore. After this controversy, surely everyone’s eyes were fixed on Naveen’s answers in this video. There was also a question related to sledding, which Naveen answered. At the same time, he also confessed that Gautam Gambhir supported him.
In this video, Avesh Khan once asked Naveen if he would like to narrate any incident related to sledding in his career. Naveen is the first to say he never sledge anyone from the front.
“I don’t sledge someone upfront, It’s not my habit,” said Naveen.
When Naveen was asked how he felt during his IPL debut, he said that Gautam Gambhir supported him greatly and gave special advice. Gambhir told him that there was no need to do anything different. Do what you have been doing till now.
After a fierce on-field brawl, Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir and Naveen-ul-Haq were accused of violating the IPL’s code of conduct. Under this, all three were also fined. Even after this matter, Virat and Naveen did not sit silent. They both targeted each other on Instagram stories without naming each other.
Even in RCB’s last match against Mumbai, when Virat Kohli was dismissed early, Naveen had put a story on his Instagram account. For the time being, this rivalry will not calm down so soon. This can also be seen in events like the upcoming Asia Cup and World Cup.
