Kolkata Knight Riders Reveals 'Reality' After Kuldeep-Rinku Slap Row Leaves Internet Fuming
New Delhi :
Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Kolkata Knight Riders southpaw Rinku Singh brushed away the rift rumours between them after a video went viral on social media where Kuldeep was seen slapping Rinku twice in the aftermath of the narrow 14-run triumph for the defending champions. After the encounter between Delhi and Kolkata at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday, Rinku and Kuldeep were seen chatting and laughing with a couple of players. Suddenly, Kuldeep slapped Rinku twice, and the Kolkata star looked visibly upset. Speculations quickly began to emerge among fans, hinting towards a rift between the two Uttar Pradesh stars. Kolkata Knight Riders released a video on Instagram on Wednesday and captioned the post, "Media (sansani) vs (doston ke beech ka) Reality! Gehri dosti feat. our talented UP boys."
In the video, Rinku and Kuldeep, with their arms around each other, made a gesture that signified 'Love' while joyfully asking each other "kaise hota ha?" (how do you do it). The famous 'Sholay' song 'Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Todenge' played in the background as the video then shifted to their old pictures together, offering an insight into the bond the duo have shared off the field.
Coming to the fixture, Rinku played a pivotal role in helping the defending champions reach a fighting total with his blitzkrieg in the first innings. He added 36 valuable runs in 25 deliveries, laced with three fours and a towering maximum, which played its part in KKR putting up a daunting 204/9 total.
Rnku eventually perished against Vipraj Nigam in the 18th over. With a flighted outside off delivery, Rinku tried to slog-sweep flat towards long-on. Starc jumped and turned to the left to take a remarkable catch with both hands.
On the other hand, Delhi's 'Chinaman' spinner had forgettable outing in the Capitals home den. He bowled three overs, went wicketless and leaked 27 runs at an economy of 9.00.

Sharing the moment on Instagram, she captioned it with a wave emoji and a hearts-in-eyes reaction, best capturing a mix of love and pride. According to Sportskeeda, Rahul's poster is a global campaign for the clothing brand and Rahul becomes the brand's first Indian ambassador. Dressed in a fresh cream ensemble, Rahul combines fashion with height, a style that suits Athiya's fashion-conscious personality too.

Having scored 116 and 51 on tour against the England Lions in warm-up games, he's taken his IPL form to red-ball cricket. With 955 runs and three centuries against England in Tests, Rahul's exposure will be vital for India in this five-match series. As Sportskeeda pointed out, his recent performances are an indication that he's ready and with Athiya and baby Evaarah at his side in England, he's also got the emotional fuel to go the distance.
