Naveen-ul-Haq , who had an infamous spat with Virat Kohli on May 1 during the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) versus Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) match in the league stage of the IPL 2023, posted a popular meme in his Instagram account after RCB𝔍 got eliminated from the tournament.
The LSG pacer posted a video which seemingly mocked RCB and Kohli after their defeat to Gujarat Titans (GT) on Sunday (May 21). LSG earlier qualified for IPL 2023 playoffs with a win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens on Saturday (May 20).

In a league stage match between LSG and RCB in Lucknow, Kohli got involved in a heated argument with Naveen and LSG’s mentor Gautam Gambhir after RCB’s 18-run victory. The two were docked their full match fees, while Naveen lost 50% of his match fee following the quarrel.
Talking about the recently-concluded game, RCB suffered ꧃a six-wicket defeatꦕ at the hands of GT in Bangalore and has to face elim🅘ination despite Kohli scoring his seco🦂nd consecutive hundred.
Kohli scored an unbeaten 101 off 61 balls as RCB posted 197 for 5 in 20 overs after GT skipper Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first. But Gujarat’s opener Shubman Gill had other plans as he slammed an unbroken cꩵentury ( 104 not out off 52 ) and took GT home with five balls to spare.
The partnership between Gill and Vijay Shankar proved vital as GT chased the target comfortably and ended the league as table-toppers. Now, they will meet with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Chepauk for Qualifier 1 on May 23, while LSG will have to compete with five times IPL champion Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Eliminator on May 24.
