[Saba Sports News] The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have had a stellar start to IPL 2024, securing two victories in their opening matches. Their inaugural match against Sunrisers Hyderabad was a nail-biter that was decided in the final moments, while their subsequent match against Royal Challengers Bangalore saw them winning by a significant margin, showcasing their dominance. Next, KKR is set to face the Delhi Capitals at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on April 3, 2024.
With an upbeat start, the team’s spirits are high, particularly among dynamic hitters Rinku Singh and Andre Russell, whose camaraderie and light-hearted banter have been a highlight. A video shared by KKR on X captures a playful moment between the two en route to Visakhapatnam. The footage shows Rinku Singh at the window seat, humorously singing ‘Lutt Putt Gaya’ from Shahrukh Khan’s movie “Dunki,” released in December last year.
The video then pans to Russell, who jests about owning the song, before giving his own rendition that had everyone, including himself, laughing. Rinku’s playful commentary on Russell’s accent and rendition adds to the fun.
KKR, alongside Rajasthan Royals (RR), remains unbeaten in this year’s IPL, making them one of only two teams to do so. The upcoming match against the Delhi Capitals is highly anticipated, especially after DC’s encouraging win against the defending champions, Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Historically, KKR holds a slight edge over DC, with 16 wins to DC’s 15, and one match ending without a result. This sets the stage for an exciting confrontation as KKR aims to continue its winning streak.
