Naveen-ul-Haq praises Virat Kohli after duo shared hug during India-Afghanistan clash at ODI World Cup 2023

In the 2023 World Cup game involving India and Afghanistan on Wednesday in Delhi, Virat Kohli as well as Naveen-ul-Haq were spotted shaking hands and hugging, suggesting that they had reconciled their issues. During the 2023 Indian Premier League, a confrontation between Kohli and Naveen took place on the pitch. The two, however, had forgotten about it and put the disagreement behind them.

After the match, Naveen told the media that his disagreement with Kohli was just on the pitch. He said that the media exaggerated the contentious encounter.

The fast bowler said, "He is a nice guy, a good player, and we shook hands. It’s always in the ground; it was nothing outside the ground. People make it big. They need that stuff for their followers. He said we are done with that, and I said yes, we are done with it. We shook hands and hugged."

During the 2023 World Cup, Virat Kohli maintained his remarkable performance by scoring his second consecutive half-century. When the Men in Blue were able to chase down the 273-run mark with eight wickets left against Afghanistan, he stayed unbeaten on 55.

Rohit Sharma, the team's captain, had the best batting performance, reaching 131 runs from just 84 balls. He was named Player of the Match due to his incredible batting performances.

Naveen-ul-Haq faced the brunt of Virat Kohli fans in Delhi during ODI World Cup 2023

Naveen-ul-Haq faced trolls after his altercation with Virat Kohli on the pitch and was frequently welcomed with cries of "Kohli, Kohli." Given that the contest was being played at Kohli's home stadium in Delhi, it was anticipated that he might run into a similar circumstance during the game versus India.

During the game, the fans taunted Naveen, but Kohli intervened on his behalf, pleading with them to stop. India's World Cup 2023 campaign is off to a great start. They have two victories from as many games, which puts them in second position overall.
