Naveen-ul-Haq breaks silence days after verbal spat with Virat Kohli
In the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore earlier in the IPL 2023 season, ace pacer Naveen-ul-Haq got engaged in a verbal spat with former RCB skipper Virat Kohli. Sooner than later, Gautam Gambhir too got involved as the teammates of their respective teams had to separate them in the end. The IPL committee too got involved later on as Gambhir and Kohli were fined 100% of their match fees while Naveen was fined 50%.
Days after the incident, the pacer along with Avesh Khan sat for a special show and the video of the same was shared by the official handle of LSG. Naveen revealed that he has never sledged anyone upfront and that it’s not his habit. Nevertheless, he recalled a funny incident that happened in domestic cricket.
“I don’t sledge someone upfront, It’s not my habit. There’s an incident from a first-class game. I was on the non-striker’s end and the batter on strike got sledged. The fielder on the silly point was newly married. He said, ‘It’s the last wicket, let’s finish this quickly, I need to go home and finish some work, I just got married yesterday. This was a funny incident that happened,” Naveen recalled.
