Rinku looked a bit taken aback and uncomfortable.
After the match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, a video went viral on social media that surprised many fans. In the clip, DC spinner Kuldeep Yadav was seen playfully slapping KKR batter Rinku Singh twice, which left people confused about what really happened.
The moment came shortly after Delhi lost their second straight match at home, falling 14 runs short against the defending champions. In the video, Kuldeep, Rinku, and a few other players were seen joking and laughing together. Then, out of nowhere, Kuldeep slapped Rinku, which seemed playful at first. However, Rinku looked a bit taken aback and uncomfortable. When Kuldeep slapped him a second time, Rinku appeared visibly annoyed and had a word with him.
Since the clip had no audio, it’s unclear what exactly happened or what the mood was like. The commentators also did not discuss the moment during their post-match talk. Many fans on social media, however, expressed anger and disappointment at Kuldeep’s actions.
