Afghanistan and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacer Naveen-ul-Haq put out a cryptic Instagram story on Tuesday following Virat Kohli's dismissal against Mumbai Indians (MI). It looks like the showdown between Naveen and Virat Kohli is not going to stop anytime soon. He captioned the story with the title 'Sweet Mangoes'. While Naveen has not mentioned any players name specifically, the comment section thinks that he is at Virat's heels yet again. In the Insta Story, Naveen's TV screen was shown with a bowl of mangoes. But the time when the screen was shown was immediately after Kohli was dismissed.

Here is the Instagram Story:

Kohli did not have the best of outings against Mumbai Indians. he was dismissed by Jason Behrendorff after scoring just one run off 4 balls.  Naveen and Kohli had a heated showdown at the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants. It happened at the Ekana Stadium. Kohli and Naveen did not have the best of handshakes as Naveen appeared to shake Kohli's hand really tightly. Kohli then somehow managed to shake it off.

Naveen-ul Haq has had run-ins with other players in T20 leagues around the world

The two went head-on in the field after a low-scoring thriller where RCB beat LSG by 18 runs. Amit Mishra had to come in between and stop things from getting worse. The two took to social media even after the on field altercation and were exchanging barbs at each other in the form of Instagram stories.

Kohli put a story quoting a person. Naveen then gave a hard hitting response saying, "You get what you deserve that's how it should and that's how it goes." Naveen then shared a picture with Gautam Gambhir who also had a fiery spat with Kohli  with a story saying ,"Treat people the way you want to be treated. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to #With (Goat Emoji)."

Notably, Naveen has had on field spats with other cricketers in T20 leagues around the world. This includes the likes of Mohammad Amir, Shahid Afridi, Thisara Perrera and D'Arcy Short. It looks like this saga is not going to end very easily and will continue on for some time.
