It was Naveen’s time to rub it in as Kohli and RCB continued to pursue their first title while Naveen shared a subtle dig on Instagram. Naveen and Kohli had a famous falling out earlier this season and were booed by crowds in Lucknow and Kolkata as fans screamed “Kohli Kohli.”

LSG criticized RCB and Virat

The Lucknow Super Giants pacer uploaded a video that appeared to criticize RCB and Virat Kohli following their loss to GT. LSG had previously defeated KKR to earn a spot in the IPL 2023 playoffs.

Since they met in the RCB vs. LSG match earlier this season, Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq have been taking shots at one another. It was a famous match since Kohli and Gautam Gambhir got into a fight during it.

Following the match, Kohli and Naveen both posted mysterious messages on social media, in addition to the three players receiving fines from the BCCI.

The Afghanistan and Lucknow Super Giants star was severely trodden by fans as they sang Virat Kohli’s name at several places wherever Naveen played. Naveen had appeared to taunt RCB with a reference to mangoes after their loss to the Mumbai Indians.
