But Naveen was badly trolled by the home fans of Lucknow while fielding at the boundary. A video is going viral on social media. In this video, Naveen-ul-Haq is repeatedly teased with the slogan of Virat-Virat. In response, even Naveen did not stop and asked the fans to shout more loudly.
Let us tell you that the matter of Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq has not been settled yet and is still being mentioned. Naveen and Virat’s argument took place during the first handshake. At the same time, Virat and Gambhir also clashed after the match. Lucknow’s team can once again fight with RCB in the playoffs. Virat and company can only reach the playoffs if the other team wins their matches.
