Watch: During India and Afghanistan’s 2023 World Cup clash in Delhi on October 11, Virat Kohli requested the local crowd to stop booing Naveen-ul-Haq.
India limited Afghanistan to 272-8 thanks to Jasprit Bumrah’s quick bowling performance (4-39). Later, Rohit Sharma (131 off 84 balls), Ishan Kishan (47 off 47 balls), Virat Kohli (55 not out off 56 balls) and Shreyas Iyer (23 not out 25 balls) played India’s 35th over. He contributed to the victory by eight wickets. p >
The Indian innings was littered with a number of records, most of them by Rohit, including 27 fours and eight sixes, and also one heartwarming gesture.
In IPL 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore had a heated battle against Lucknow Super Giants in Bangalore. During the matchKohli got into an argument with Naveen Al Haq, who was playing for Afghanistan today.
KL Rahul, who captained Lucknow that day, also played for India today and Lucknow coach Gautam Gambhir also commented here.
Cricketers may have forgotten the problem, but fans continued to put out the fire. When Afghanistan performed, the audience tried Naveen. The fact that Kohli is from Delhi probably added to the atmosphere.
Kohli himself intervened at this point and asked the crowd to calm down. At Kia Oval during the 2019 World Cup, Steve also stopped the crowd from booing his Smith.
The audience responded. Kohli and Naveen shook hands and the match continued. Naveen had no wicket and from his 5 overs he conceded 31.
“He’s a good guy, a good player. We shook hands and ignored everything that was going on in the IPL. It was always on the ground, there was nothing outside. People It’s the media that makes it big – they want this for the supporters,” Naveen told the media after the match.
