Virat Kohli, Naveen Ul Haq's Instagram Story (Image Credit: Twitter)
It seems that Afghanistan and Lucknow Super Giants player Naveen-ul-Haq and Virat Kohli's fight will go on for longer. It all started during the reverse fixture between LSG and Royal Challengers Bangalore recently. Both had an ugly verbal spat during the dying moments of the low-scoring thriller. After the game, Haq was fined 50 percent while Kohli was fined 100 percent of his match fees.
It didn't just end here. Both players put out cryptic Instagram stories targetting each other although they didn't take names. However, during the reverse fixture between defending champions, Gujarat Titans and LSG, the former India and RCB skipper put out appreciation IG stories for Wriddhiman Saha and Rashid Khan. The former belted the Super Giants' bowling while Khan took a fantastic catch. It is believed that Kohli was supporting GT as Naveen is part of the Giants.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing game, Afghanistan International put out a fresh IG story. In this story, he clicked the photo of his television screenshot. On the flat screen, Piyush Chawla appeared while Naveen was having mangoes on the plate.
Meanwhile, the fans are angered by the right-arm pacer's IG story.
You are a Kohli fan this is the real problem!

Talking about Kohli, he tried to go down the track against Jason Behrendorff but could only edge the ball to Ishan Kishan. This is his rare failure in the ongoing tournament after scoring six fifties in the ongoing season. On the other hand, the orange cap holder and RCB skipper scored another fifty before getting out to Cameron Green in the 15th over.
He and Glenn Maxwell scored a half-century each and put together 120 runs in just 10.1 overs. The three-time finalists had a poor start as they lost two wickets for 16 runs. However, thanks to the partnership, the team got into a strong position before both got out and the team needs the likes of impact sub, Kedar Jadhav and Dinesh Karthik to take the over 200-run mark.
