New Delhi: Afghanistan’s fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq, playing in IPL for the first time, has performed well but the discussion has been more about his other antics. After the fight with Virat Kohli, he continuously remains in the news. After the defeat of Royal Challengers Bangalore, he also remained in the headlines for teasing Kohli in gestures. Now against Mumbai Indians also, after taking the wicket of Rohit Sharma, he has started gathering discussion due to his antics.
On Wednesday, May 24, in the Eliminator match of IPL 2023, Rohit Sharma’s captaincy was in front of Mumbai Indians, Lucknow Super Giants. In this match, Mumbai won the toss and decided to bat first. As always, captain Rohit and Ishan Kishan opened for Mumbai and started fast.
Rohit was dismissed and celebrated.
However, in the fourth over, the team got a big blow when captain Rohit was dismissed. Rohit’s wicket was taken by Lucknow’s Afghan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq. On the second ball of this over, Rohit gave the catch directly to the fielder. Here the fielder took the catch and on the other side Naveen started celebrating. Then what Naveen did, he caught everyone’s attention.

The pacer from Lucknow celebrated the wicket by pressing both his ears with his fingers. This celebration is very famous all over the world, which is adopted by the players in the form of ‘no noise celebration’. Lucknow’s regular captain KL Rahul himself also uses the same celebration when he scores a century or a big innings.
Naveen’s ongoing mess
Apparently, the condition of Naveen is also similar at present. Ever since his fight with Kohli, he has been the target of fans in every stadium. In the match in which he has come on the field, the spectators present there have raised slogans of ‘Kohli-Kohli’ to tease him. Something similar happened in Chennai as well. Slogans of Kohli-Kohli were clearly heard in the field. This has happened only when Naveen-ul-Haq has been fielding at the boundary.
By the way, Naveen himself is leaving no stone unturned to promote this behavior of the audience with his antics. Ever since his confrontation with Kohli, Naveen has been posting some or the other pictures on his Instagram account whenever Bangalore loses or Kohli’s wicket falls. In such a situation, the fans have been raising slogans against Naveen-ul-Haq.
