[Saba Sports News] Former India cricketer and Lucknow Supergiants (LSG) mentor Gautam Gambhir extended his warm wishes to the Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq on his 24th birthday.
Naveen, who engaged in an on-field verbal clash with Virat Kohli in the Lucknow versus Bangalore fixture in the IPL 2023, had received support from Gambhir.
Even during that quarrel, Gambhir held Naveen’s back and even jumped into the altercation, engaging in a serious argument with Kohli in front of the crowd post-match.
Now, on the occasion of Naveen’s birthday, Gambhir shared a picture on his official Instagram account. In the caption, he wrote, “Happy Birthday @naveen_ul_haq! There are very few like you. Never change!”
Naveen has also been selected in the Afghanistan squad for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, starting on 5th October in India. He has played seven ODIs and has 14 wickets to his name so far.
