Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) players were in a good mood as they had a merry flight to Chandigarh before their IPL 2025 match against Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Tuesday, April 15. A clip shared by the franchise caught a lighthearted rapid-fire session with Vaibhav Arora, Ramandeep Singh, Harshit Rana, and Venkatesh Iyer. The clip was filled with jokes, playful jibes, and laughter, reflecting the close camaraderie among the players.
KKR's mood was predictably upbeat following their emphatic victory against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Chepauk. That commanding performance has given the Shreyas Iyer-led team a boost in confidence, who now look to carry their momentum forward in Mullanpur, where they face a Punjab Kings side still reeling from a stunning loss. PBKS could not defend a massive total of 246 in their previous match, courtesy of Abhishek Sharma's jaw-dropping century that took the game away.
During the flight, the Knights played a quick-fire game of jokes. It was not long before Harshit Rana was the prime target of jokes. When asked who tends to be late for flights, all three of them – Vaibhav Arora, Ramandeep Singh, and Venkatesh Iyer – pointed directly at the Delhi speedster. Rana, never one to miss a chance, laughed and named Ramandeep instead.

The second question was regarding who in the team is always having food. Again, Rana chose Ramandeep, stating the all-rounder is always with food. This elicited more giggles from the group.
When it came to the "sleeping giant" of the team, Venkatesh humorously christened head coach Chandrakant Pandit. Meanwhile, Rana and Arora both said Rovman Powell wears the crown. Right on cue, the camera cut to Powell, sound asleep on the flight, confirming their choice most ridiculously.

The highlight came when the players were questioned whose browser history they would least like to open. With no hesitation, Ramandeep stated, "Harshit Rana ka browser nahi khol sakta hu [I cannot open Harshit Rana's browser]." The team erupted in laughter, and even Vaibhav Arora concurred. But Rana was not going to let it go quietly. He pointed straight back at Ramandeep, saying his would be worse. The back-and-forth jibes created a hilarious segment that fans enjoyed on social media.

KKR and PBKS are presently placed at positions number five and six on the IPL points table. With both teams hoping to make it to the top four, Tuesday's game is of great significance. A victory here would bring either team close to the playoffs.
While KKR's players were smiling and joking on the flight, they are aware of the serious task at hand. But with team morale high and everyone having a good time with each other, the Knights appear set not only to battle, but to enjoy themselves while doing so.
