The IPL 2023 got into headlines for all the wrong reasons during Match 43 of the season as Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli had an altercation with Lucknow Super Giants bowler Naveen ul Haq.

Recently, Pakistan opener Imam-ul-Haq recalled the incident and revealed that Agha Salman apparently messaged Kohli on Instagram to calm him down after it. Notably, the BCCI came down heavily on the players involved in the verbal duel and imposed heavy fines on them.

“During the IPL, I remember Virat Kohli had a fight with Afghanistan bowler Naveen ul Haq. It was an intense fight that continued even after the game and Gautam Gambhir also joined it. It went viral and Virat was extremely angry. Following the incident, Salman Agha messaged him on his Instagram ‘Kohli bachche easy ho ja. Kya ho gaya? (Kohli kid please calm down what happened),” Imam-ul-Haq said on the Honest Hour podcast.

In the aftermath of the incident, Kohli and Gambhir were fined 100% of their match fees after they were found guilty of a Level 2 offence while Naveen-ul-Haq lost 50% of his match fees for his Level 1 offence.
