This rivalry stems from IPL 2023, where the two were embroiled in a heated altercation during an RBC vs LSG match.

Following the on-field altercation, Naveen took to social media to taunt Kohli, especially when he was going through a rough patch with the bat.

As this rivalry continued to intensify, fans anxiously awaited Kohli's showdown with Naveen, hoping that their beloved 'King Kohli' would put on a stellar performance against Naveen.

Now, as the first innings concludes, there is immense anticipation for the moment when Kohli faces Naveen during India's batting.

Naveen is undoubtedly motivated to seek retribution in the eyes of Indian fans by attempting to take the valuable wicket of Kohli.

Simultaneously, fans will persist in rallying behind Kohli, wishing for a formidable performance against the Afghan side, including Naveen.
