Earlier in the tournament, Naveen and Kohli were involved in two incidents during the LSG-RCB match at Lucknow. On Wednesday, the crowd at the MA Chidambaram stadium in Chennai even chanted Kohli's name.

After the game, Naveen was asked about those chants and said that he liked the spectators chanting the former RCB captain's name.

"I enjoy it. I like everyone in the ground chanting his (Virat Kohli) name or any other player’s name. It gives me passion to play well for my team," Naveen said at the post match press conference.

On the field, Naveen had an impressive day with the ball on Wednesday, claiming figures of 4 for 38 in his four overs. However, his performance was outshined by Akash Madhwal, who took 5 for 5 in 3.3 overs to help the five-time IPL champions win the game by 81 runs.
