VIDEO: Kuldeep Yadav slaps Rinku Singh in heated exchange during IPL

In a shocking turn of events during the Indian Premier League (IPL), Delhi Capitals' spinner Kuldeep Yadav slapped Kolkata Knight Riders' batter Rinku Singh on the field following a heated exchange during the match.

A video of the incident has gone viral on social media platforms, showing Kuldeep Yadav striking Rinku Singh after the match concluded. The altercation reportedly began during the game, where tensions flared between the two Indian cricketers. On-field players intervened to calm the situation at the time, and the matter was later reported to the match referee.

However, the situation escalated again after the match ended. As players from both teams gathered, Kuldeep Yadav was seen slapping Rinku Singh in front of other cricketers and officials.

Kuldeep's aggressive behaviour has drawn heavy criticism from fans and social media users, with many calling for strict disciplinary action. Several users have demanded that Kuldeep Yadav be fined or suspended for his inappropriate conduct.

The match itself ended in favour of Rinku Singh's team, as the Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Delhi Capitals by 14 runs.

This incident has drawn comparisons to a similar episode from the inaugural IPL season in 2008, when former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh slapped his teammate Sreesanth during a match, an act that led to significant controversy and disciplinary action.
