Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq is in India for the 2023 ODI World Cup, which means, he won’t be playing peacefully without hearing the ‘Kohli, Kohli’ chants while fielding near the boundary rope. During Afghanistan’s first match itself at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Saturday (October 7), videos started surfacing on social media of fans teasing the youngster with Virat Kohli‘s name.

The rivalry between Naveen and Kohli started during the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The two got involved in an ugly altercation and it became the biggest talking point of the cash-rich league.
