LSG vs MI: Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians squared off yesterday (May 16) in the most recent fixture of the Indian Premier League 2023. The high-octane LSG vs MI clash at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium remained a last-over thriller, with home side Lucknow Super Giants achieving a close 5-run triumph. With the notable victory against red-hot Mumbai Indians, LSG climbed up to the crucial third position in the table.
It was a clinical performance from Lucknow Super Giants, both with bat and ball, in the high-pressure game. Marcus Stoinis, who played a match-winning inning worth 89 runs off just 47 deliveries, was ultimately named the player of the match. Moreover, Mohsin Khan remained Lucknow’s star in the second inning following the successful defense of just 11 runs in a challenging final over.
Naveen’s heart-winning reaction to the Virat Kohli chants
Meanwhile, a visual of LSG pacer Naveen-ul-Haq getting bombarded by the Virat Kohli chants from the spectators is doing rounds on social video. The episode occurred during the LSG vs MI game when Naveen was fielding near the boundary rope and a few spectators sitting in the first row started performing ‘Kohli-Kohli’ chants. The Afghanistan pacer put on a poker face and asked the fans to chant louder instead of losing his cool.
“I have always been a team player, anything for the team, so happy with the result. Mohsin has a big heart. It has not been easy for us, pleased to end on a good note here. Good to give them a win in this last game at this venue.” said stand-in LSG skipper Krunal Pandya after the triumph over Mumbai

Earlier this season, during Lucknow Super Giants’ match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, Naveen-ul-Haq was engaged in a heated argument with Virat Kohli. Things got notably heated up between Naveen and Kohli that both had to be separated by their teammates during the team handshake. The rivalry between the two is still occurring as both recently posted multiple Instagram stories taking indirect digs at each other.
