In a hilarious turn of events, Barbados Royals, Rajasthan Royals’ co-owned franchise in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), took a sly dig at Naveen-Ul-Haq. The Afghan pacer who represents Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), plays for Barbados in the CPL. Before the beginning of the latest edition of the league, Naveen’s franchise took a hilarious dig and pranked the cricketer for his controversial altercation with Indian cricketing icon Virat Kohli during the IPL 2023.
The video posted by the franchise on social media captured several moments of Virat Kohli that brought back memories of the famous controversy between two cricketers. In one of the clips, famous American streamer and YouTube, IShowSpeed, known for his love and admiration towards Cristiano Ronaldo and Virat Kohli could be seen reacting to the latter’s videos.
Not only this, but the video also featured the Afghan pacer inquiring about the TV channel to watch the CPL. Things took a hilarious turn when, in return, he was suggested to watch it on channel number 18, which is Kohli’s jersey number. After getting tired with the pranks, Naveen could be heard saying, “Stop it guys. Find a new way, Please.”
Talking about the tournament, the latest edition of the CPL is all set to get underway on Thursday, August 29. The opening clash of the league will see Antigua and Barbuda Falcons locking horns with St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. Barbados will be up against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the fourth match of the season at the same venue.
