Sandeep Warrier, Kumar Kartikeya, and Vishnu Vinod of Mumbai Indians were spotted trolling Lucknow Super Giants pacer Naveen-ul-Haq after MI defeated LSG in the IPL 2023 Eliminator. On Wednesday, when MI outplayed LSG in the Eliminator, three MI players Kumar Kartikeya, Vishnu Vinod, and Sandeep Warrier posed for a photo on the dining table with mangoes.
Sandeep and Vishnu posted the photo on their Instagram profiles and wrote, "Sweet season of mangoes”. But then after a while, they removed the post before one of the Twitter users took a screenshot.
During the LSG vs MI IPL 2023 eliminator, LSG Pacer Naveen-ul-Haq took the wicket of Rohit Sharma. Moments after taking the wicket of MI’s skipper, Naveen celebrated the wicket by covering his ears, likely to drown out the sounds of the fans who have been shouting “Kohli Kohli” in every LSG game.
Earlier during the league stage of the IPL 2023, Naveen was involved in a heated chat with Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli after the RCB vs LSG game. Naveen then posted Instagram stories about mangoes whenever the Bangalore side did not perform well in their matches. The LSG pacer even posted a meme video, moments after RCB were knocked out of the tournament.
Talking about the eliminator, LSG lost the match but then Naveen registered a fantastic spell of 4/38 against Mumbai Indians. He picked up crucial wickets of Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and Cameron Green. It was Naveen's effort with the ball that restricted Mumbai Indians to 182/8. In reply, Lucknow Super Giants were bowled out to just 101 runs and lost the game by 81 runs.
