Naveen-ul-Haq to play for RCB? Cricketer drops BIG hint
Speaking with ESPNcricinfo, Naveen-ul-Haq was asked a witty question around mangoes. The relation with the mangoes also dates back to the fight where the Afghan cricketer was seen taking a dig at Kohli. One such example is when the Afghan pacer posted an image on his Instagram story while watching a match between RCB and MI.
"Never eat a mango again or never take a five-for?" Naveen-ul-Haq was asked in the recent interaction. However, the 25-year-old left everyone amused with his response as he said, "Never eat a mango again." Apart from this, the fast bowler was also asked to choose either to bowl or bat with Kohli to which he responded, "I have bowled to him, so I will choose to bat with him."
It is to be noted that Virat Kohli was retained by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction. The Bengaluru-based franchise signed in his services for INR 21 Crore, making him the joint second highest expensive player to be retained alongside Nicholas Pooran and after Heinrich Klaasen (INR 23 Crore).
