Naveen-ul-Haq was at his fiery best against Mumbai Indians in the 2023 Indian Premier League elimination match on Wednesday night, taking the crucial wickets of Rohit Sharma (11), Suryakumar Yadav (33), and Cameron Green (41) to place MI on the backfoot.
Naveen, who garnered notoriety for his controversial altercation with Virat Kohli earlier this month during the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore, left the internet once again perplexed as he performed a rather familiar celebration during the MI match.
After Rohit threw an easy catch to Ayush Badoni at cover, Naveen covered his ears with a finger each — a celebration that LSG's first-team captain KL Rahul frequently employs after scoring a century — before adjusting his collar.
In the eleventh over of the match, Naveen repeated his exuberance after dismissing the in-form Cameron Green with a slower delivery that castled the Australian batter.The celebration of Naveen breached the internet, and it quickly became a topic of conversation among game-watching fans:

This month, Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq had an altercation during the game's final overs, which escalated when Naveen refused to clasp Kohli's hand. As Kohli extended his hand, Naveen engaged in a verbal exchange before violently shaking the RCB star's hand. A few minutes later, Kohli engaged in an argument with LSG's coach Gautam Gambhir.

Earlier in the elimination match in Chennai, Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat. In lieu of Nehal Wadhera, Tilak Varma returned to the eleven in place of Nehal Wadhera. After an abysmal 2022 campaign in which they finished at the bottom of the table with only four wins in 14 matches, the MI returned to the semifinals.
