The LSG spinner Naveen-ul-Haq stated he inspired to perform well for his team by the “Kohli, Kohli” chants heard at the stadium on Wednesday. Naveen-ul-Haq and Virat Kohli, a star for Royal Challengers Bangalore, had a contentious conversation during the league stage of the present IPL. The Afghan even shared Instagram stories about mangoes after the RCB-LSG encounter whenever the Bangalore-based team struggled in their games. “I like it. I enjoy hearing everyone in the stadium chant his (Virat Kohli’s) name or the name of any other player. It fuels my desire to perform well for my team, he remarked following his impressive performance of 4/38 against MI, despite MI’s defeat.
Well, I don’t focus on the exterior, outside sounds, or anything else. I only pay attention to my own cricket and process. I’m not affected by what others are saying or the chanting of the crowd.
“As professional athletes, you must accept this in stride. The supporters are going to criticize you when you perform poorly for your team. The same individuals will cheer your name when you do well for your team. In essence, this is inherent to the game, he continued.
Naveen-ul-Haq praised team coach Gautam Gambhir for supporting him following their altercation with Kohli on the field, saying, “Everyone should support their players. a player, a coach, or anyone else. On the field, I will stand up for every teammate, and I also expect everyone else to do the same.
“He (Gambhir) has become a legend for India and is incredibly revered there. He has contributed greatly to Indian cricket. I have a lot of regard for him as a mentor, a coach, and a cricket great, and I have learned a lot from him. What I should do to play cricket both inside and outside the field.
