Did Virat Kohli show his shoe towards Naveen ul Haq during the match against LSG? | IPL2023

Xtra Time Web Desk: The heated exchange between RCB star Virat Kohli and Lucknow Super Giants pacer Naveen ul Haq made headlines during the IPL 2023 game at Lucknow on Tuesday. Virat was also involved in a heated exchange with LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir.

Virat Kohli was the centre of attraction as he was involved in a spat with Amit Mishra followed by a heated exchange with Naveen-ul-Haq. It was Virat who first started sledging at Naveen when he went into bat. The Afghan pacer also chose to return the pleasantries when Virat was batting during the run chase.

The actual controversy unfolded towards the end of LSG innings. During the 17th over of LSG innings Kohli was seen having a word with Naveen, who was at the crease. Something was said by Naveen to which Virat reacted. He was involved in a lengthy and heated chat with the on-field umpires.

Kohli verbally retaliated and also showed his shoe before pointing at Naveen. It was not clear what Kohli was trying to say but a player of his stature pointing at his shoe and then raising his finger at an opponent far younger than him did not paint a rosy picture.

The umpires walked in to intervene. Later, Kohli was seen having a short exchange with Amit Mishra as well with the umpire standing in between, looking to stop the fight.

After the match ended, as the players queued up for handshakes, Kohli and Naveen too shook hands but there was a short exchange of words once again. Kohli did not pay attention to what Naveen said as he moved on to shake the next player’s hand, but turned back immediately as Naveen kept on saying something. However, before things could potentially get out of control, Glenn Maxwell stepped up and separated the two. As Kohli started walking towards the dug-out, LSG opener Kyle Mayers were seen telling Virat something, only to see Gambhir moving away the Caribbean cricketer. Kohli next turned towards Gambhir and said something. The LSG mentor could not keep his cool now as he was also seen saying something towards Virat. Soon both Kohli and Gambhir were face to face surrounded by KL Rahul and other LSG players.
