Afghanistan fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has once again recalled the clash with Virat Kohli in IPL 2023. During this, he has also revealed why Gautam Gambhir had signaled the Bangalore crowd to remain silent. Let us tell you, last season both the matches played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made a lot of headlines. There was a very exciting end to the match when Lucknow team defeated Bangalore. After the end of the match, Gambhir gestured towards the Bangalore crowd to remain silent. After this, when Virat Kohli came to play on the Lucknow ground, he took revenge by sledging the LSG players. During this time, Kohli also had a heated argument with Naveen Ul Haq and Gautam Gambhir.

Speaking on Zalmi TV's YouTube podcast, Naveen Ul Haq said on this issue, “We went to Bangalore to play our away match, it started from there…we won that match. It was a very close match and we chased the score.” …After winning the match, one of our players (Avesh Khan) hit his helmet on the ground after the last run. I think he (Virat Kohli) did not like that.”

He further said, “After this incident, their team came to Lucknow, on our home ground. So when they were winning the match… I went to bat at number 9 or 10… At that time we We had almost lost the match…at that time I did not feel that anyone would sledge me because it was a dead game, they were winning. Then I was sledged…when someone starts sledging, I don't stay behind. Pata…my nature is like this…whatever it may be…that sledding took place, after which the conversation progressed with a handshake as well.”

Naveen also said, “When I was being sledged, Virat Kohli and Mohammed Siraj were there… and I also just replied to them that nothing personal was taken. Gautam Gambhir got angry in that match (Bangalore) because We needed one run on one ball and the bowler wanted to come and run out our non-striker and that was the last wicket. He heated up the game because he tried to do that, when he failed to do that, the spirit of the game. Even according to him, he was not looking good that such a good cricket match was going on and it would have been a shame if the match ended on Mankad. That's why Gambhir wanted to silence the crowd at that time. So he is also a passionate cricketer and Virat is also like this. So when Virat came to Lucknow, he has his own style. As long as things do not go personal, it is fine.”
