An unusual scene after the Delhi Capitals (DC) vs. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) match on April 29, where KKR won the match by 14 runs at Arun Jaitley Stadium, home ground of DC. After the match, when players from both teams were interacting with each other, Kuldeep Yadav was caught on camera slapping Rinku Singh! The video of the moment has attracted attention from cricket fans. Netizens are currently divided into two regarding this incident. 

It was a must-win match for Kolkata Knight Riders, and they hit the bullseye. KKR outperformed Delhi Capitals. In game 48 of IPL 2025, Kolkata Knight Riders batted much better than in their previous matches; Angkrish Raghuvanshi's 32 of 44 was the best knock of the night from KKR, followed by Rinku Singh's 36 after facing 25 deliveries.

In response to 204, the host team was able to score 190 for 9 in the 20-over limit in the second innings. Kuldeep Yadav, who was in great form during the initial stage of IPL 2025, did not trouble Knight batters enough yesterday evening.

Did the matter take a serious turn?

Kuldeep bowled 3 overs out of his 4-over quota, spending a total of 27 runs without taking any wickets—not a memorable match for the experienced spinner—and then, a controversial affair.

Did Kuldeep really slap Rinku Singh? Some of the cricket fans are in a serious mood and even asked Delhi Capitals management to look after this matter. Other cricket fans are thinking differently. According to them, Kuldeep and Rinku are both good friends, so perhaps they are just kidding with each other. From the video it looks like Yadav hit Singh a little bit hard; Rinku himself paused for a moment.
