The caption for a new video that KKR shared of Rinku Singh and Kuldeep Yadav said, “Media (π΄π’π―π΄π’π―πͺ) vs (π₯π°π΄π΅ππ― π¬π¦ π£π¦π¦π€π© π¬π£) Reality!”
With a new video posted on their official social media accounts on Wednesday, the Kolkata Knight Riders provided an explanation of what happened between Rinku Singh and Kuldeep Yadav. After a viral video surfaced showing Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav slapping KKR batter Rinku Singh twice following the DC vs. KKR game at the Arun Jaitely Stadium in New Delhi, KKR used a clever caption to dispel all the rumours that suggested a split between the two players.
After KKR defeated DC by 14 runs, a reportedly amusing exchange between Indian cricket colleagues Rinku Singh and Kuldeep Yadav sparked a flurry of discussion on social media. Fans’ reactions to a viral video showing Kuldeep playfully hitting Rinku twice during post-match discussions ranged from laughter to indignation. Fans thought there was a serious relationship between the two cricket players based on Rinku’s face following Kuldeep’s initial light-hearted smack.
But with the following caption, KKR shared a new video of Kuldeep and Rinku: “Media (π΄π’π―π΄π’π―πͺ) vs (π₯π°π΄π΅π― π¬π¦ π£π¦π¦π€π© π¬π’) Reality! “Featuring our talented UP boys, ππ¦π©π³πͺ π₯π°π΄π΅πͺ.”
Here Is What KKR Replied On This
The incident happened shortly after KKR’s exciting victory that preserved their hopes of making the playoffs. Kuldeep, Rinku, and a few other players can be seen chatting and laughing close to the border in the now-viral video. Kuldeep suddenly gives Rinku a little slap on the cheek, which at first seems to be in jest. Clearly taken aback, Rinku hesitates for a while before Kuldeep gives him another slap. The two Uttar Pradesh locals, who have a well-established friendship from their days playing domestic cricket, have a tense exchange as Rinku’s attitude changes from amusement to discomfort after the second smack.
Here is What Rinku Singh Replied
Although there is no audio in the video, thus it is difficult to determine the precise context, Rinku’s response stoked conjecture. Because of their long-standing relationship, some fans wrote off the incident as casual banter. However, some were less kind and accused Kuldeep of being disrespectful.
Rinku’s vital 36 off 25 balls and Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s 44 helped KKR reach 204/9 in the contest. With Varun Chakravarthy’s help, Sunil Narine’s 3/29 held DC to 190/9 in spite of Faf du Plessis’ 62 and Axar Patel’s 43. With 12 points, DC was still in the top four, while KKR’s victory brought them to nine points and kept them in the playoff fight.
