Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq had an argument with star cricketer Virat Kohli during the much talked about Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Uttar Pradesh capital.
While, Virat Kohli and LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir added another chapter to their bitter rivalry as they got involved in an ugly face-off, bowler Naveen-ul-Haq and Kohli were seen exchanging words during the match and while shaking hands after the match.
IPL authority said in a statement that both Kohli and Gambhir admitted to breach of IPL Code of Conduct rules. LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq was also fined 50 per cent of his match fee. "RCB batter Virat Kohli has been fined 100 per cent of his match fee for breaching IPL Code of Conduct during IPL 2023 match against LSG. Mr Kohli admitted to the Level 2 offence under Article 2.21 of IPL Code of Conduct. LSG bowler Naveen-ul-Haq has been fined 50 per cent of his match fees for breaching IPL Code of Conduct during IPL 2023 match against RCB. Mr Naveen-ul-Haq admitted to the Level 1 offence under Article 2.21 of IPL Code of Conduct," the IPL authority stated.
This was not the first time that 23-year-old Naveen-ul-Haq found himself embroiled in controversy. There have been two such incidents and both in Lanka Premier League (LPL).
In 2020 edition of LPL, Naveen-ul-Haq had an on-field alercation with Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir during a match between Kandy Tuskers and Galle Gladiators. Munaf Patel was part of that match. Following the on-field altercation with Amir, Naveen-ul-Haq was seen having heated argument with Pakistan's Shahid Afridi.
Afridi even aired his views on the matter on Twitter. "My advise to the young player was simple, play the game and don't indulge in abusive talk. I have friends in Afghanistan team and we have very cordial relations. Respect for teammates and opponents is the basic spirit of the game," Afridi tweeted.
