Naveen-ul-Haq posted a cryptic story on Instagram (Instagram/Twitter)
It was not an ideal outing for the in-form Virat Kohli as he was dismissed for just 1 against Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.
Lucknow Super Giants pacer Naveen-ul-Haq posted a cryptic Instagram story while watching the Indian Premier League match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday from his team’s hotel room. The Afghan pacer was involved in an on-field altercation with RCB maestro Virat Kohli earlier this season, which caught the attention of many. Both the cricketers lock horns on the field during the LSG vs RCB IPL match in Lucknow.
Meanwhile, Naveen posted a story on Instagram during the MI vs RCB match right after the wicket of Kohli in the first over on Tuesday. Mango was at the forefront of the Instagram story while Piyush Chawal was on TV.
Many cricket fans on Twitter felt that this was a sarcasm on Kohli who failed to score runs against Mumbai and was dismissed for just 1 run in the first over.

It was not an ideal outing for the in-form Kohli as he was caught behind for just 1 on Tuesday. The batting maestro pressed down the ground on a delivery from Jason Behrendorff but failed to time it well and edged Ishan Kishan behind the stumps, which forced the skipper to take a successful DRS.
Earlier, Kohli had also posted a few Instagram stories during the GT vs LSG match where he was all praise for Gujarat Titans stars Wriddhiman Saha and Rashid Khan.
Meanwhile, the second leg of the Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore turned out to be a heated affair. Possibly angered by LSG’s celebrations after their win at the MA Chinnaswamy Stadium in the first leg, Kohli was on a mission to give it back and was seen exchanging words with Naveen-ul-Haq.

During the post-match formalities the Afghanistan pacer was seen in an animated pose after RCB scored the points on offer. Kohli was also seen in a verbal exchange with Kyle Mayer before the West Indies all-rounder was taken away by LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir. But, things took a turn for the worse as Gambhir opened up against Kohli and a brawl ensued.
