Adding to the intrigue was the presence of former Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir in the commentary box during the match. It was during the aforementioned spat between Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq that Gautam Gambhir had a heated exchange with Virat Kohli, coming to the defence of Naveen-ul-Haq.

Social media was abuzz with happiness as fans appreciated the maturity of both players for moving past their differences and not letting their rivalry affect the outcome of the crucial ICC World Cup 2023 match. Some cricket enthusiasts noted that players like Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq exemplify how cricket transcends being just a game.

In terms of the match itself, Team India’s skipper, Rohit Sharma, delivered a splendid performance, scoring 131 runs and leading India to a resounding victory against Afghanistan with 8 wickets to spare and 90 balls left. India’s star batsman, Virat Kohli, contributed with 55 runs and the finishing touches to secure the win. This triumph held great significance for India, as they were gearing up for the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan clash scheduled for Saturday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan provided a strong foundation for India’s chase, forging a partnership of 156 runs. Ishan Kishan narrowly missed his half-century before being dismissed, but Virat Kohli stepped in to ensure that India’s mission was successfully accomplished. In a noteworthy feat, Rohit Sharma’s century against Afghanistan marked him as the player with the most centuries in the ICC World Cup, adding a memorable milestone to India’s emphatic victory.
