The Internet never forgets. Virat Kohli and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) fans never forgive. Little did we know the IPL season would slowly turn into a full-on ‘Sweet Mango’ season. If your social media feeds are filled with pictures of mangoes, know that it’s just revenge best served cold. Ever since Mumbai Indians brutally defeated Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL 2023 play-offs, Afghanistan pacer Naveen-ul-Haq seems to be getting a taste of his own #SweetMangoes.
It’s Raining #SweetMangoes On Twitter; Here’s The Context!
If you’re living under a rock and wondering, what’s with the mangoes— pictures, memes, emojis and GIFs— then let’s give you context. The story goes that during the LSG vs RCB match in Lucknow, Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq were embroiled in a heated exchange. Apart from the verbal exchange that happened on the field. Off the field, the LSG bowler later took to his Instagram handle to share a ‘sweet mango’ story on Instagram to tease Virat Kohli after he got out.
Over the past few weeks, the rivalry between teams RCB and LSG thickened. Virat Kohli’s and the franchise’s fans joined the bandwagon to take ‘sweet mango’ digs at pacer Naveen-ul-Haq and team LSG. But here’s where things got juicy, last night, MI defeated LSG by a whopping 81 runs. This embarrassing defeat, despite bowler Naveen-ul-Haq getting 4 wickets, resulted in #SweetMangoes trending on Twitter.
