RCB fans react after Naveen-ul-Haq's Lucknow Super Giants crash out of IPL 2023
Mumbai Indians (MI) steamrolled Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, to fix their meeting with Gujarat Titans (GT) in Qualifier 2 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. It was a clinical effort by the five-time champions, as the opposition didn’t stand any chance, especially in the second innings.
While the MI batters batted beautifully to take the team to a score of 182/8, which was above par for that track, the MI bowlers, particularly Akash Madhwal, took away the limelight. Akash registered the best-ever figures in an IPL playoff game, as he shattered the batting unit of LSG, which had some big names.
Akash Madhwal snared 5 wickets while giving away only five runs, which is now the joint-most economical five-for in the history of the league. There were doubts over the quality of the bowling unit of Mumbai Indians, as they were missing the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer.
But, on Wednesday night, Akash singlehandedly sidelined all those doubts by showing world cricket that he is here to rule. His fantastic efforts with the ball ensured MI didn’t have to break any sweat during the second innings, particularly after the first timeout.
RCB fans troll Naveen-ul-Haq after LSG suffers a massive defeat
Mumbai Indians fans are happy with the win, but the fans of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are over the moon for obvious reasons, as Lucknow Super Giants crash out of the tournament after suffering a massive 81-run defeat. The RCB fans didn’t hold themselves back while launching a full-fledged attack on the Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq.
While Naveen had a terrific game with the ball, as he scalped four vital wickets, the batters couldn’t finish the job, as they had a completely off-day at Chennai. Following the defeat, the RCB and Kohli fans trended the famous ‘mangoes’ on Twitter.

Naveen was seen trolling Virat Kohli and RCB by posting a picture of mangoes on his Instagram account earlier in the tournament. Moreover, he also attempted an indirect attack via Instagram by posting a cryptic story following RCB’s league stage exit a few days back.
The RCB fans were eagerly waiting for their moment, and the moment finally came on Wednesday night. Not only Naveen-ul-Haq but the whole team was trolled heavily by the RCb supporters.
