Lucknow Super Giants mute 4 mango-related words on Twitter; here's why

Following Wednesday’s epic showdown between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians in IPL 2023’s first qualifier, the team’s Twitter admins were forced to block words like ‘mango’, ‘mangoes’, ‘sweet’, and ‘Aam’ on Twitter. Reason? The relentless trolling that the squad’s bowler Naveen-ul-Haq had to face after LSG’s exit from the competition.

The somewhat-good natured ribbing came as a result of Naveen-ul-Haq’s own trolling – whenever Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore failed to perform well in the tournament the Afghani bowler would put posts of mangoes across his social media. However, when LSG was bowled out at 101 in their chase against MI, fans were quick to make Naveen have a taste of his own medicine.

“Issued in our interest,” LSG captioned a post on Twitter showing a screenshot of muted words on Twitter. This list of words includes ‘mango’, ‘mangoes’, ‘sweet’, ‘aam’, and ‘[mango emoji]’.
