Former Indian spinner Amit Mishra dropped a few bombs during a podcast and shared details from some of the most controversial incidents in Indian cricket. Mishra shared the details from the Virat Kohli vs Naveen-ul-Haq battle during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 and revealed how the Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsman abused the Lucknow Super Giants pacer. Mishra even suggested that though everything seems normal between the two on social media, it would be difficult for Naveen to respect Kohli after that IPL incident. Now, Naveen has responded to Mishra’s remarks.
“For social media, it all seemed to be over between them. But do you think Naveen will respect Kohli ever again? What about the youngsters who saw the incident where a big star was abusing others,” Mishra had said on Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast ‘Unplugged’.
Naveen, who is playing for the Texas Super Kings in USA’s Major League Cricket, said that all is well between him and Virat, with the IPL clash only being a ‘heat of the moment’ incident.
“That was just the heat of the moment during the match and nothing personal. And I and Virat Kohli both have forgotten and in the ODI World Cup, we finished, hugged and we moved on from that. But social media nowadays keeps these things going on and on,” Naveen said in a video shared by the Texas Super Kings.
