Delhi Capitals spinner Kuldeep Yadav slapped Kolkata Knight Riders batter Rinku Singh twice after the defending champions defeated the home franchise by 14 runs at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Kuldeep and Rinku play for Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket, and the spinner didn’t have any intention of hurting the southpaw. However, Rinku didn’t like Kuldeep’s behaviour and was left shocked. He was miffed with Kuldeep and had a word with him. The clip is without audio, and the reason behind Kuldeep’s slap remains a mystery.
