On 3 May 2023, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) locked horns with Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Ekana Cricket Stadium. But, just before the match, a picture went viral where the former IPL Chairman, Rajeev Shukla was seen talking with LSG’s Naveen-ul-Haq. Seeing that fans went crazy.
Naveen-ul-Haq is all over the headlines since the LSG vs RCB clash. He got involved in an ugly verbal spat with Virat Kohli. Several videos and images went viral. Therefore, fans were wondering what might Rajeev Shukla be telling him ahead of the CSK clash. Speaking of the match, CSK won the toss and asked LSG to bat first.
Here is the shared image:

In the last two matches in IPL 2023, Naveen-ul-Haq has taken six wickets
However, KL Rahul missed the match as he suffered an injury in the last match against RCB. Even, reports are there that he might not participate further in this ongoing league. So, Krunal Pandya again got the opportunity to lead the team and came out for the toss. After winning the toss, Dhoni said: “The wicket was under cover for a long time, and it looks a bit tacky. We have to see every condition. When you are playing a day game, things change. Deepak Chahar is playing and he comes in place of Akash Singh."
Pandya said: “I would've liked to bat. I don't know how the wicket will play, despite it being our home ground. KL is a big loss but it creates opportunity for other players. The morale is high. We want to play a good time. Manan Vohra and Karan Sharma come in.” Naveen-ul-Haq got a place in the playing XI as he has been in good form with the ball in the last two matches. But, due to his actions in the last game, his 50% of the match fee got fined. Even, Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir’s 100% of match fees were also fined.
Here is how fans have reacted to the viral image:
