Former India skipper Virat Kohli and Afghanistan international Naveen-Ul-Haq had an ugly altercation during the LSG v RCG game. At the end of the 16th over after the Siraj vs Naveen clash. It all started after the former flicked the bails despite Naveen being inside the crease. Virat intervened in the fight and it increased which is why the umpires had to intervene.
However, this didn’t end there. After the game ended with the Royal Challengers’ win, the altercation between both players continued with the Afghanistan pacer not ready to talk to Kohli. On the other hand, Gautam Gambhir also intervened with both Kohli and Gambhir having a heated debate too. Meanwhile, Naveen has uploaded an Instagram story that has angered the fans.

This one is too rude and arrogant as a player. Still going on about it. Doesn’t seem in the mood to let go and focus on his next match.
