India has always been Afghanistan’s “big brother,” even though Afghanistan is now the biggest cricket team in the region. Afghanistan has never been able to beat India in any sport, but they have come very close many times. There has never been friction between the players in an India vs. Afghanistan match. The two teams will play in a World Cup 2023 match on Wednesday at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi. Things could be a little different. Indian superstar Virat Kohli and Afghanistan’s young fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq will meet for the first time since their ugly fight on the field during the IPL 2023. There was an Asia Cup, and India and Afghanistan played, but Naveen wasn’t there. This right-arm pacer has been added back to Afghanistan’s ODI team for the World Cup. He played well in their first game against Bangladesh in Dharamsala.
During the IPL 2023, Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq got into a fight.
But will he be even more pumped up when he bowls at Kohli? It’s impossible to rule out the chances, especially after what happened between the two cricket players earlier this year. When Naveen was hitting for the Lucknow Super Giants, he got into heated arguments with Virat Kohli of the Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was such a heated battle of words that it went on long after the game was over. When the two people shook hands, things almost got physical.
When asked about the ugly fight between Kohli and Naveen, Afghanistan’s leader uses Tendulkar and Dravid as examples.
Hashmatullah Shahidi, the captain of Afghanistan, was asked if the Kohli-Naveen on-field run-in would change how the other Afghanistan players feel about their rivalry with India. India has been Afghanistan’s neutral home ground when they’ve played teams like Ireland.
“See, you already said it: India is our home, it was our home, we played here, and the people of India love the people of Afghanistan.” And what happened on the ground shows that violence is directed at everyone, not just India and Afghanistan. “So, anyone can get it,” Shahidi said before the game.
The batter who hits with his left hand also said that many Afghan bowlers look up to Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. “Well, this did happen, and a lot of our players still look up to idols from the Indian team, like Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.” “There’s no need to worry about that,” he said.
Afghanistan isn’t scared off by their loss to Bangladesh
Afghanistan’s World Cup did not get off to a good start. The Bangladeshis beat them in all three parts of the game, but Shahidi isn’t too upset about the one bad day at work.

“See how important it is to work together? The most important thing is to know what to do when you lose; that’s the most important thing for me and everyone else.” It’s a long event, though, and we still have eight games to play. If you lose one, it will affect your other games. That game is over for us as a team. As of now, we’re thinking and going forward. Morale is still high, and we’re excited about the other games. “There are chances for us to win in the locker room,” he said.
