Virat Kohli vs Naveen ul Haq battle is what audiences will be hooked on yet again in India vs Afghanistan clash. Naveen created quite a stir on social media when he apparently rubbed Indian Superstar Kohli in the wrong way. Not only that, but the Afghan bowler also did not shake hands with Kohli after the RCB vs LSG clash.
Things got ugly when Naveen also indirectly took a dig at the RCB batter by terming him ‘Sweet Mangoes’ on his social media posts. After five months, the battle is yet again set to take place in today’s match.
Kohli vs Naveen rivalry will resume at the former’s home ground Delhi.
Naturally, the Afghan pacer will be facing a lot of heat as the crowd will relentlessly chant Kohli, Kohli whenever Naveen comes to bowl. During Afganistan’s first WC match against Bangladesh at Dharamshala, crowds relentlessly had a go at Naveen by chanting Kohli’s name.
Now in Delhi, the home crowd will rally behind Kohli and try to give a tough time to the pace bowler.
