Indian cricket star Virat Kohli has once again showcased his exceptional batting skills in the 2023 World Cup, scoring a whopping 765 runs in 11 innings, proving that his form in ODIs is at its peak.
Although Kohli has been known for his fiery and hot-headed nature since his early days as India U19 captain, this trait has mellowed over the years but still remains a part of his intensely competitive nature, as seen in a recent on-field altercation during the 2023 IPL.
Kohli’s heated exchange with Lucknow Super Giants’ Naveen-ul-Haq during a match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and LSG garnered significant attention, especially when it continued after the match, with LSG mentor Gautam Gambhir getting involved.
In a recent episode of the Honest Hour podcast featuring Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq, a humorous incident involving Kohli and Pakistan all-rounder Salman Agha was revealed. Agha had cheekily messaged Kohli on Instagram after his on-field confrontation, urging him to “take it easy,” much to the amusement of his teammates.
However, Kohli and Naveen eventually settled their argument in a public display of sportsmanship sharing a joke and a handshake during the 2023 World Cup match between India and Afghanistan in Delhi.
With Kohli’s exceptional performance and his ability to handle on-field confrontations with humor and grace, it is clear that he continues to be a force to be reckoned with in international cricket.
