Viral Video: Controversy Erupts After Kuldeep Yadav Slaps Rinku Singh

After the 48th match of IPL 2025 between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday, a scuffle was caught on camera between two Indian players. After the match, Kuldeep Yadav slapped Rinku Singh, which was caught on camera. In the video going viral on social media, both the cricketers were seen laughing with some other players and then suddenly Kuldeep slapped Rinku (which seemed to be a joke), but looking at Rinku's face, it seemed that he did not like it. Rinku looked shocked and angry before talking to Kuldeep. While the context of the entire incident was not clear as the audio is not available, social media users are not happy with Kuldeep's action and are demanding his ban from the BCCI.

On Tuesday, Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Delhi Capitals by 14 runs, keeping their hopes of reaching the playoffs alive. Delhi won the toss and decided to bowl. Coming out to bat, Kolkata gave a target of 204 runs. Defending the target, the Kolkata spinner took three wickets for the team and made a significant contribution in restricting Delhi Capitals to 190 runs.

Sunil Narine was named Player of the Match for his three-wicket haul and 27 off 16 balls. Speaking on the presentation after the match, Narine said, "It was a complete team effort, we batted with Angkrish and Rinku in the middle order. I still believe in myself to come back and perform well for the team. There are matches when you start well and struggle and then there are matches when you don't start well and finish well. " 

Speaking on KL Rahul's run out, he said, "These are all wickets, it is not a wicket that I enjoy. I'm not the best fielder, but it's always good to get a good run out whenever possible. Just swing and throw the ball as fast as possible. "
