In a viral video that circulated on social media, Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav was seen slapping Kolkata Knight Riders batter Rinku Singh twice on live TV after their intense match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The incident occurred after Delhi suffered their second consecutive home game loss against Kolkata. In the video, Kuldeep and Rinku were seen sharing a laugh before the slaps, leaving Rinku shocked and then visibly enraged. The context behind Kuldeep’s actions remains unknown as there was no audio in the clip, and commentators did not address the incident during their analysis. Fans on social media criticized Kuldeep’s behavior, with some even calling for the BCCI to ban him.
In the match, Kolkata posted a challenging total of 204 for nine, with Delhi falling short and finishing at 190 for nine in their chase. Despite efforts from Faf du Plessis and Axar Patel, Sunil Narine’s three crucial wickets derailed Delhi’s chase. The loss marked Delhi’s fourth defeat of the season, slipping from the second spot in the table to fourth. This was their third loss in four home games at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
