"Bacche Easy": Pakistan Star Messaged Kohli, Claims Teammate

At the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, one of the lasting images was that of the fight between Virat Kohli and Naveen ul Haq. Virat Kohli, playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Naveen ul Haq, playing for Lucknow Super Giants, had a verbal altercation with then LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir also getting involved. Virat Kohli and Naveen ul Haq again came face to face at the Cricket World Cup.  The subplot of the face-off added intrigue to the India vs Afghanistan Cricket World Cup 2023 clash. However, what transpired was beautiful. Virat Kohli and Naveen Ul Haq hugged each other. The images of the incident went viral immediately.

In a recent podcast, however, Pakistan cricket team star Imam-ul-Haq claimed that when Virat Kohli's spat with Naveen Ul Haq had happened at the IPL, his teammate Agha Ali Salman messaged the Indian cricket team star on Instagram. 

"The fight was very viral. After the fight, Agha Ali Salman messaged Virat Kohli on Instagram, saying 'Kohli bacche easy ho ja. kya ho gaya hai. (Kohli go easy)," Imam said. 

Talking about the incident, Naveen ul Haq in an interview to Lucknow Super Giants mentioned how Virat Kohli settled things between them. After their on-field spat, Naveen Ul Haq had often been jeered by Virat Kohli fans.

"He said, 'let's finish it?', I said, 'Yes, let's finish it' so we we laughed about it, we hugged and we moved on. He said, 'Now after this, you won't hear my name' or something he said [and that], 'You'll only get support from the crowd'. I said yeah (smiles)," Naveen said in a video shared by his IPL team Lucknow Super Giants.

"I will stand for my teammate. That's why we are a team."

Naveen Ul Haq also commented that the support that the Afghanistan cricket team received in India made them fell like they were playing at home.

"We've got support from, I think, every game. In just that one game we played against India in Delhi we didn't get any support (smiles). [Apart from that], we got a home kind of a feeling in every game," he said.

After Kohli made peace, the Indian cricket fans looked like doing a U-turn and cheered for Naveen Ul Haq. During a Cricket World Cup match against England in New Delhi, the crowd was firmly behind Afghanistan and Naveen received loud cheers from them throughout the game.

In a video that went viral on social media, the crowd could be seen cheering massively as Naveen dismissed England's Jos Buttler en route to a famous victory against the defending champions.

Afghanistan pulled off one of the greatest Cricket World Cup shocks when they defeated defending champions England by 69 runs.

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

T20 WC Live: Netherlands Face Sri Lanka In A Must-Win Game For Dutch

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal. However, the Dutch need to beat Sri Lanka by a healthy scoreline to keep any hopes of qualifying to the Super 8 stage alive. The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions. They would likely finish bottom of their group if they fail to win.
