During the match between the Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Supergiants in the Indian Premier League, both Naveen and Kohli were involved in a verbal tussle which even continued when the former refused to shake his hand after the match was over as well.

The tussle was one that was talked about very much across social media and has been one of the hottest topics since the previous edition of the IPL.

Naveen-Ul-Haq will look to put in his best performance and help Afghanistan in their World Cup campaign as this edition would mark his last few appearances in ODI cricket after the pacer announced his retirement from the format. He took this decision in order to prolong his career in T20 cricket as the pacer has been involved in various franchises across the world.
