Delhi: There were many stars when Afghanistan knocked out defending champions England in one of the biggest upsets in World Cup cricket. Spinners Mujeeb ur Rehman and Rashid Khan who took three wickets each and Muhammad Nabi who took two wickets are among them. But it was the inswinger of Afghan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq that felled captain Jos Buttler, the most crucial wicket in the England line-up.
Naveen-ul-Haq, who used to get booed by the fans whenever he played in India because of the war of words with Virat Kohli during the IPL, but yesterday he left the ground with a handshake from the same fans. Naveen clean bowled Buttler with cheers from the fans.
Umpire, let’s see Hitman’s reply, how is this possible after Harris Rauf was hit for six?
Earlier in the India-Afghanistan match at the same ground, the two players shook hands and hugged after ending their enmity with Virat Kohli. When Virat Kohli was at the crease, Naveen was booed by the crowd at Delhi’s Arun Jait Stadium and signaled to them not to bowl. Later, after the match, the two shook hands and had a friendly conversation.
Delhi is cheering for Naveen. Yes, read that again! 👏👏👏pic.twitter.com/e8wyN4zxz7

Virat Kohli and Naveen Ul Haq got into a verbal fight during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants in this year’s IPL. When Gautam Gambhir, who was Lucknow’s mentor, also intervened in the matter, the problem worsened and later fans retaliated by raising Kohli chants at all the grounds where Naveen and Gambhir went.
