[WATCH] IPL 2025: DC and KKR address the controversy around the widely shared Kuldeep Yadav slapping incident of Rinku Singh

Following the DC vs. KKR IPL 2025 match at the Arun Jaitley stadium in Delhi, the teams shared a film addressing the viral event between Kuldeep Yadav and Rinku Singh. A video of Kuldeep and Rinku having a sweet conversation and exchanging a love message was published on X by DC and KKR’s official feed.

Following the game, a widely shared video showed Kuldeep jokingly slapping Rinku. Many people interpreted the incident as a joke, but some attempted to interpret the KKR player’s response in a different way. In order to resolve the matter, DC and KKR shared a video of their cordial exchange on social media.

Both Rinku and Kuldeep developed unique finger gestures for love. Rinku and Kuldeep could not comprehend the trend’s meaning, so they made their own gesture when the videographer asked them to follow it. The pair pointed their thumbs and index fingers in a love gesture.

KKR wins for the first time in four games.

In the meantime, Kolkata Knight Riders won the IPL 2025 for the first time following a losing run. The losing skid for the reigning champions began when they lost to PBKS even though they had only dismissed them for 111. However, as their opponents defended the lowest total in league history, KKR was removed for just 95, setting an unwelcome record.

The Gujarat Titans defeated KKR by 39 runs in the subsequent match, causing them to suffer yet another crushing defeat. Kolkata Knight Riders faced a difficult task in their rematch with PBKS since they had to chase 202 runs on a challenging surface. The two sides each shared a point, though, and the match was rained out. Desperate to win, Ajinkya Rahane and company were able to do so because they remained composed at key points in the match.
