LSG mutes 'Mango', 'Sweet' & 'Mangoes' words from twitter as netizens troll Naveen-ul-Haq

Naveen-ul-Haq became one of the biggest talking points for the Indian Premier League fans in the aftermath of Lucknow Super Giants’ loss to Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2023 Eliminator. As LSG ended their campaign this season with a loss, the Afghanistan cricketer became the subject of trolls on social media. In an attempt to tackle the trolls, the franchise was forced to ban a few words from their Twitter handle. 

“Issued in our interest,” LSG wrote while sharing a screenshot of the muted words. “Mango, Mangoes, Sweet, Aam,” the list read. Reacting to the tweet, netizens pointed out how Royal Challengers Bangalore fans celebrated Mumbai Indians’ win with such enthusiasm. It is worth noting that the 23-year-old Afghan pacer earlier used the reference of sweet mangoes while aiming a dig at Virat Kohli after RCB’s exit from IPL 2023.
