The incident happened during a fan event in Bengaluru.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have shared an intense rivalry over the years in the Indian Premier League (IPL), popularly known as the Southern derby. And ahead of the upcoming IPL 2025 season, CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has already sparked off tensions by making a brutal jibe at the opposition. The incident happened during a fan event called NFYusion, hosted by Infosys in Bengaluru.
Gaikwad faced a brief awkward moment when the microphone he was handed malfunctioned. Responding to the presenter’s comment, Gaikwad made a cheeky remark ,
“RCB wala hoga (Must be an RCB fan)”.
Gaikwad’s backhanded humour left the audience in splits. Now, the video of this light-hearted moment has gone increasingly viral across social media platforms.
Check the video of the incident below.
CSK and RCB have always produced high-voltage matches and the teams once again had a close encounter last season (IPL 2024) in a virtual knockout match during the league to seal the last available playoffs spot which RCB won at the end.
Speaking about Ruturaj Gaikwad, he is set to lead Maharashtra in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 (VHT). The Maharashtra cricket team is placed in Group B, and they will play their first game of the domestic 50-over tournament against Rajasthan on Saturday (December 21).
