Is this the real Naveen-ul-Haq account?

The answer is no. This account belongs to an imposter, who appears to be a big Virat fan, and is using a Twitter account in name of Naveen to defame the cricketer. After posting these apologetic twets tweets, this fake account has done many posts for Kohli, which is a proof that this account is not of Naveen. 

Naveen's message to fans after Lucknow gets knocked out

LSG displayed their poorest of the league so far as they got a 81-run thrashing in the hands of Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator. After LSG got knocked out, Naveen left for Dubai immediately. He is expected to play County Championship next. Naveen posted a message for LSG fans after he departed for Dubai. He wrote on Instagram:" Have lots to say but for now all I’ll say is thank you for all the love and support to the coaches,management and everyone involved in this journey thanks."

Naveen was also trolled brutally on social media after LSG's ouster from the championship. Some MI players also posed with mangoes to take pot shot at Lucknow-based franchise as well as Naveen.
