While LSG & RCB both are out of IPL 2023, the banter over 'sweet mangoes' continues as Mumbai players jokingly mocked Naveen-ul-Haq after knocking Lucknow out of IPL 2023 with an 81-run loss.
Mumbai teammates Sandeep Warrier and Vishnu Vinod posted an image on social media that evidently was to pull Naveen-ul-Haq's leg who apparently began the entire Sweet mango repartee.
In the image, Sandeep Warrier, Vinod and Kumar Kartikeya can be seen sitting around a table with mangoes kept on the plate. While all three are representing the ubiquitous three monkeys of Mahatma Gandhi, the now-deleted post was captioned as, 'Sweet season of mangoes'
Fans were quick to understand the reference and joined in the fun. Naveen ul Haq after his on-field altercation with Virat Kohli had begun the banter. He posted a story with mangoes right after Kohli's dismissal against the Mumbai Indians previously and wrote 'sweet mangoes'. He also mocked the RCB after they were knocked out of the tournament in the league stage.
Naveen who picked 4 wickets in the Eliminator match too responded to the Kohli chants with shut-out-the-noise celebration.
