NEW DELHI: Naveen ul Haq, the talented seamer from Afghanistan, displayed his prowess on the cricket field as he picked up four crucial wickets, helping the Lucknow Super Giants restrict the Mumbai Indians to 182 for 8 in the IPL Eliminator held on Wednesday.
Naveen, who recently made headlines for his heated exchanges with Virat Kohli during a league game against RCB, faced a barrage of boos from the Chepauk crowd. However, he remained unfazed and delivered an impressive performance by dismissing MI skipper Rohit Sharma (11 off 10 balls), batting mainstay Suryakumar Yadav (33 off 20 balls), last match's hero Cameron Green (41 off 23 balls), and the ever-dangerous Tilak Verma (26 off 22 balls).
